I had this problem when I get the value from a div:

function sync(){

    var n1 = document.getElementById('editor').value;

    alert(n1);

    var n2 = document.getElementById('news');

    n2.value = n1;

}

div with id editor looks like this:

<div class='message'  id='editor' contenteditable=true onkeyUp='sync()' style=color: black></div>

When I put something in that div it will alert me undefined and that will also come in the textarea i paste it in too. So the problem is obviously by this:

var n1 = document.getElementById('editor').value;

What am I doing wrong?
