the solution is not simple, since when you turn richtext on,
FCKEditor
takes over your textarea. check FCKEditor documentation on
their website
how to access the value (text) of the textarea.
By changing the id it makes it easier. I had a similar
problem with my code. It took me several days to figure it out.
Hopefully it works. But make sure to assign the value passed from
the id=stuff2 to stuff.
