Can I populate the textarea using javascript dynamically?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a msg form for a message board using jwysiwyg.
2. try to populate its jwysiwyg-text area using javascript (ajax call)
3. cannot find any "public-level" function that can populate the textarea.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- this board will be nicer if we can directly access to textarea object

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
- I tried various methods to populate the textarea using javascript. none 
of them worked.
EX) 
$('#bbscontent').wysiwyg('prototype.setContent', 'hahaha');
$('.wyswygTxt').val("hahaha");
......

I resolved it by replacing it with FCKEditor. Probably it is the best text 
editor in
the world.
