TinyMCE with AJAX (Update Panel) never has a value

Question

I wanted to use a Rich Text Editor for a text area inside an update panel.

I found this post: http://www.queness.com/post/212/10-jquery-and-non-jquery-javascript-ric

Answer 1

Well there were two ways I got this to work, which really didn't fix the problem just avoid it.

One was to use the FCKeditor .net control, this reloaded horribly slow though for me, like 2-3 seconds. So I decided to just make the form have two update panels, and put the text area in between then, essentially taking the text area out of the update panel. This felt kind of like a cheap trick that shouldn't be necessary, but it works fine. None of the solutions or suggestions anyone posted worked for me so that is what I did. If I HAD to put the text area into the update panel though, this wouldn't have worked.
