jQuery, get ID of a textarea

I've got a form with a text field defined as follow:

<textarea style="height: 60px; width: 100%;" name="F3414" id="F3414" rows="6" cols="80" wrap="virtual" class="frmTxa fckEditor"></textarea>

I need, using jQuery, to get the textarea id (in that case, F3414).

I've tried: 

$('textarea .fckEditor').attr('id'); 
$('.fckEditor').attr('id'); / ... with no luck.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot

alert($('textarea.fckEditor').attr('id'));

you have a space between textarea .fckEditor in your original question, does removing it make a difference

Working Example : here

If you are using the textarea as an editor, it won't be rendered as a textarea once the plugin is applied. It might be an iframe with content editable set to on.

Inspect the page source using firebug and try to find out the HTML structure.
