How do i get the value from a tinyMCE textbox using jquery?

I am trying to get a the value of a textbox that is using tinyMCE (jQuery Version) but when i do i get no content from the textbox. See my code below;

var content = $( "#content_textarea" ).val();
alert(content);

Also i am not using a form and the code is activated using a button.

I have also tried this code;

var content = tinyMCE.get('content_textarea').getContent();
alert(content);

What am i doing wrong?

Try:

var editor='content_textarea';
var content =tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
alert(content);

Or if you don't like that, you can do:

tinyMCE.triggerSave();
var content =$('#content_textarea').val();
alert(content);

Both work for me.

Just do:

tinymce.get("original textarea id").getContent()

Based on the documentation here:

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/jQuery_Plugin

You should use:

// Gets the contents from a specific editor
alert($('#someeditor').html());
