Answer 1

It appears that cleditor hides the textarea and replaces it with an iframe (see line 203 of cleditor source).

So to achieve what you want, you just need to access the resulting iframe contents:

$("#input").cleditor();

$(".cleditorMain iframe").contents().find('body').bind('keyup', function(){
    var v = $(this).text(); // or .html() if desired
    $('#x').html(v);
});

UPDATE to address Tim's comment

This works in Chrome and Firefox (I don't have access to IE):

$("#input").cleditor();

$( $(".cleditorMain iframe")[0].contentWindow.document ).bind('keyup', function(){
    var v = $(this).text(); // or .html() if desired
    $('#x').html(v);
});
