object HTMLTextAreaElement javascript response

Issue

Why can't I get the content in a tinymce textarea through Javascript/Jquery? With all the things I've tried, it has always given me [object HTMLTextAreaElement] As a response. What am I doing wrong?

Javascript:

function changeText2(){
  var content =  tinyMCE.getContent('content');
}

alert(content);

HTML:

<textarea id="content" onkeyup='changeText2()' name="page" cols="50" rows="15">
    tinymce editable content in here
</textarea>

Solution

You are getting the textarea element itself. To get its value, add .value.
