Text length in FCKeditor

I am using FCKeditor for the first time. I have it set up but am having trouble passing the user-text into my javascript code. I understand I have to use the FCKeditorAPI, and probably need something like this:var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('InstanceName') ;
but I am not clear on what the InstanceName is nor how to get the length.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to both of you. I use Oracle Application Express and I do not compose the code myself to create the FCKeditor item. After viewing the source code of the resulting page, I was able to identify the InstanceName and manipulate it through javascript using the length code supplied. I don't quite understand the significance of the syntax GetXHTML(true) but who cares?!
