I have a tinyMCE textarea #frmbody and am using the jquery instance of it.

I have a tinyMCE textarea #frmbody and am using the jquery instance of it.

<textarea class="tinymce" name="frmbody" id="frmbody" cols="30" rows="20"></textarea>

I’m trying to get the contents of the textarea as the user types.

$("#frmbody").live('keyup', function(e) {
    alert("keyup");
});

The code above is not working and I’m not sure why. If I remove the tinyMCE instance, the code above works fine. Any ideas?

    That’s because an instance of TinyMCE isn’t a true textarea, so keyup events aren’t detected. Try the onchange callback instead.
