Writing into a textarea within an embedded javascript

Ok...I hope this makes since.

There's a textarea in a javascript editor that allows for editing of the text. SAHI recognizes all of the controls on the editor, but I cannot get any text to enter into the Message area (textarea).

Any Help?

    This is a rich text editor (RTE) and not a simple textarea. It mostly uses an iframe in designmode.
    Find out the id of the iframe and use 
    function writeToRTE($text){
  _byId("iframeId").contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML += $text; 
}

_call(writeToRTE("my text"));
    Also look at this post which shows how to access FCK editor's RTE. http://sahi.co.in/forums/viewtopic.php?id=9

    Thanks for the help, but it doesn't quite work. The function you gave me replaces the FCK Editor with the text on the page. I want to be able to put the text into the editor. More help please!

    Thanks!!

    Issue is resolved! I combined what you sent me with the code you gave the individual dealing with FCK Editors, and I've text in the text area now!
