Here is a solution using most recent technologies (Razor/MVC/Ajax) :

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#btnSave").on("click", function () {                
                $.ajax({
                    url: '@Url.Action("YourAction", "YourController")',
                    type: 'POST',
                    data: { id: @Model.ID,
                            html: ace.edit("editor").getValue() },
                    cache: false,
                    success: function (response) {
                        alert("Changes saved.");
                    }                        
                });
        });
    });

In Controller :

    [AjaxAuthorize]
    [HttpPost, ValidateInput(false)]
    public ActionResult YourAction(string id, string html)
    {
        if (id == null || String.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
        {
            return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
        }
        // do you stuff
    }
