Get specific iFrame class with jQuery (or get CKEditor value)

Question

I am getting an iFrame this way currently:

$('body', window.parent.frames[0].document)

This is for CKEditor, the WYSIWYG html editor. However, I believe it dynamically adds certain other frames (not sure how). So I rather just get a specific frame by a class name that I know will always be there (unlike the above method which will only get the first instance).

The class name is: cke_wysiwyg_frame

How can I do this?

(The reason is I am saving the content to my database with a button; the button needs to know where the CKEditor content is. So far the way I am doing it is unreliable.)

Edit: I decided to do it the correct way using the Ckeditor API and not my requested hack above.

Answer 1

To get the value from an editor instance, you can reference the instance and use getData

CKEDITOR.instances.editorId.getData();

Answer 2

Try this

$(".cke_wysiwyg_frame").contents().find("contentIdorClass");

You better use .contents() method to get all the content of the iframe.
