Please help.
I tried to refer the field as foloows:

I think that there are some rich:editor attributes and/or support methods that will do what you want in a more control-friendly way. The Rich Editor is actually a complex control based on a non-JSF version of a rich text editor, so just treating it like a TextArea control won't work.
