So what I want to do is to submit a form using jQuery's AJAX function. And the route I choose to go was to use $('#form').serialize(); and then pass that as a GET request. It works out all dandy and fine and dandy until I add the editor, NicEdit, that I'm going to use on the site.

I've researched the issue and the situation is so that once NicEdit takes over a text-area for example, it hides the text-area to the user and instead has her write into a . This data will then be put back into the text-area triggered by the push of a normal submit button.

Now the issue is: I don't have a normal submit button and hence don't trigger the event that puts the data back in the text-area. And I have tried my best to solve the issue google a solution but everything I've found has been worthless.

Given the fallowing basic setup of my situation: http://jsfiddle.net/MMzhS/1/ - How would you get the data from the NicEdit form to the text-area before alert(); is called?
