i've been using a popup window to populate my content in the textarea of the Editor. So you can use the <%=editor.ClientID%>, but it doesn't help you if you're trying to access the CuteEditor from another page (or popup window). So you can still use the javascript API, but instead of using :
var editor1 = obj_Editor1;
use
var editor1 =
CE_Editor1_ID;
Example for my situation:
Old version (5.2) was:
window.opener.obj_Editor1.editdoc.body.innerHTML = txt;
New version (6.0) is:
window.opener.CE_Editor1_ID.setHTML(txt);
rock on... love 6.0!!
