	Hi, In the current page, there is an editable DIV area acting as a textarea for user input: <div id="DocContent" contenteditable><%=strContent%></div> and there is a button on this page to open up a new window for user to append some text to the DIV area. So on the new window page, I have some javascript to do the job: window.opener.DocContent.innerHTML=window.opener.DocContent<%= controlName%>.innerHTML + "text to be appended"; Now we would like to replace the DIV area by the RTE textarea, is there any way to do the same thing and append the text to the RTE textarea value?

	Scrap the editable DIV area, turn it into a regular textarea and then apply the RTE to it.

	we have done that sucesfully, except that after we do that, we can no longer dynamically insert links into that same textarea. SInce we must be able to insert links in that area, we were wondering if you had any ideas on how to incorporate both Thanks

	No luck. I try to put window.opener.document.getElementById('MyRTE').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = window.opener.document.getElementById('MyRTE').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML + "Text to append"; but it doesn't update the content in the RTE. Thanks, Paul

	This would need to be run after the RTE has loaded.
