I use jquery and javascript to program a web application.And I want to use
the jquery or other javascript to get the data of the editor,but when I use
$("#text").val(),the "text" is the texterea's id value,I can get the data
but it will throw exception when run under the IE7 and I  can't use the
code $("#text").("") to set the data empty .I use windows XP OS and the
jwysiwyg version is 4.0 and the jquery version is 1.2.6 the file is jquery.js

Hi! For clear the editor:

$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('clear');

Can you reproduce the error ? What the exception says ?

Using $('#wysiwyg').val() for get the editor content, should work.

Regards,

I am having the same issue.

<textarea id="wysiwyg" rows="11" cols="60" value="<?php echo $content; 
?>"></textarea>

Nothing appears in the jWYSIWYG editor though. Not even hardcoded values.

I don't think theirs a value attribute for the textarea tag. try to put the 
content 
between the tags

<textarea id="wysiwyg" rows="11" cols="60"><?php echo $content; ?></textarea>

To clear the content in the editor use 

   $('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('clear');

If you want to set the content of the editor on the fly you can use 

   $('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('setContent' response.message);
