We often need to get the editor content, so an API function would be really great.

Here is a patch to implement this on last 6.x-2.x-dev, on FCKEditor, CKEditor and TinyMCE 3.

It would really be nice to have this in WYSIWYG API.

Yahoo! Editor also provides saveHTML().

  getContent: function() {
    YAHOO.widget.EditorInfo.getEditorById(this.field).saveHTML();
    return this.field.value;
  }

Thanks for the tips markus.
Concerning YUI, Wysiwyg does not implement the instances functions yet so right now it is not useful.
About TinyMCE 2, I could not even make the editor work with last 6.x-2.x so I did not implement it.
For FCKEditor, CKEditor an TinyMCE 3 it is working fine though.

hmm... I guess thought, that when a particular editor does not provide such a method, a javascript error may occur when the method is invoked, and that may break the page.

I mark this issue as a duplicate of #614146: Drupal.wysiwyg.editor.instance needs additional methods since this issue is overlapped by it.
