How can I determine the id of the "edit" textarea in a theme?

Question

In changes his value sometimes in "conten" sometimes "qcontent". How to determine, which is used in the current context.

Answer 1

The ID (and name) attribute is set to "qcontent" if you are editing a question and "acontent" if you are editing an answer. I believe that is set by the Q2A core code, so changing theme shouln't change that ID.

Answer 2
