Read content of Xinha dynamically

Hi,

I want to dynamically read what has typed in Xinha reader without submitting the content. I use a javascript as follows.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var old = '';
    function update()
    {
          var textarea = document.getElementById('myTextArea');
          var d = dynamicframe.document;
 
          if (old != textarea.value)
          {
                old = textarea.value;
                d.open();
                d.write(old);
                d.close();
          }
    }
  </script>

but what I type in editor cannot b read by value of the text area. I saw there as a iframe created on run time by xinha with the id "XinhaIFrame_myTextArea". I can see the content in it using firebug. But I cannot get it's content too.

Can someone help me here.
