tinyMCE fix for use with jQuery.validation plugin and IE

tinyMCE fix for jquery validation

// when using the jquery.validation plugin with a tinymce textarea you will need to write the contents of the tinymce area back into the original textarea for jquery.validation to pick up it's new value

// force tinymce content to be written back into original textarea element
var content = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
$("textarea.tinymce").val(content);

// if all else fails
tinyMCE.triggerSave();

after this you can safely apply jquery validation ala...

var validateForm = myForm.validate({
ignore: ".ignore",
errorElement: "strong"
})

I found I had to do

$("textarea.tinymce").html(content);
