How to read text area value in CK-Editor rails 4

Question

I have a CKEditor textarea:

 <textarea id='notification_message' name='notification[message]'>

I am just trying to read the value of ckeditor textarea via below code:

  var message = $("textarea[name='notification[message]']").val();
  alert(message);

But it give me blank value. How could I get the ckeditor textarea value?

You may be interested in the [The jQuery Adapter](http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_jquery), using this you can use the `$('textarea.editor').val();` as normal. — t.niese, Nov 18 '15 at 07:32
