Answer 2

You'll need to store the contents of the element in a form element so it can be submitted to your PHP page.

I assume you want contenteditable instead of textarea for rich text... consider taking a look at WYSIWYG editors like TinyMCE instead.

If you still want to stick with your current method, you'll need some JS to copy the value of the div into a hidden form element before the page gets submitted.

HTML

<div id="emailcontent" contenteditable>asdf</div>
<form>
  <input type="text" id="a" name="a"/>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" />
</form>

jQuery

$("#submit").click(function() {
  $("#a").val($("#emailcontent").html());
});

You can try something like this:

var form = document.createElement("form");
form.setAttribute('action','some.php');
form.setAttribute('method','POST');
form.setAttribute('target','_self');
form.setAttribute('enctype','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
form.innerHTML = '<input type="hidden" name="emailData" value="'+
                     document.getElementById('yourdivid').innerHTML+'" />';
form.submit();

Then in your php retrieve POSTed data:

$data = $_POST['emailData'];
