$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#comment").richText();
    $("#comment").trigger("setContent", "test");
});
</script>

<textarea name="comment" id="comment"></textarea>

This is the entire script called test.php and the editor works, jquery works, the setContent does not work

Your textarea will be wrapped with nodes specific for the editor. You'd need the following code snippet to make it work:

$('#comment').siblings('.richText-editor').trigger('setContent', 'test');
