Setting form values from fckeditor before submit is called

Question

I'm trying to fix a form on a site that uses javascript to validate the fields.

Some fields are using fckeditor, and it turns out that the form field values aren't set until the submit button is pressed - rendering my form validation useless.

What I want to do is (hopefully) just call a method in fckeditor to update the form values it's tied into.

Does anyone know of such a method?

Thanks, John.

for ( instance in CKEDITOR.instances )
            CKEDITOR.instances[instance].updateElement();
