Dojo and Rails

Hi there,

I thought I got Dojo working with rails but I was wrong. When I have a text_area set-up as:

<%= f.text_area :content %>

Generated HTML: <textarea cols="40" id="content_content" name="content[content]" rows="20"></textarea>

The form submits fine and the content is sent to the controller. However when I use the following:

<%= f.text_area :content, {:dojoType => 'dijit.Editor', :class => 'dojoEditor'} %>

Generated HTML: <textarea class="dojoEditor" cols="40" dojoType="dijit.Editor" id="content_content" name="content[content]" rows="20"></textarea>

The form is submitted but, the content is not submitted. Has anyone worked with rails and Dojo, specifically the rich editor, and found a way to make this work?

Thanks, Schalk
