Is there any chance to get the html content (mime) from a rich text component without any datasource. I would like to grab the content from the field like this.getComponent("FieldName").value
but this dosen't work.
thanks.

Have you tried .getValue() or .getSubmittedValue() (to catch the value once posted)?

You can bind the control to a scoped variable; for example, #{viewScope.comments}. You can then retrieve the submitted value from the scope instead of from the component itself; for example, viewScope.get("comments").
Alternatively, you can set a dataContext variable to a JS expression, e.g. <dataContext var="richText" value="#{javascript:return {value:""};}" />. Then you can bind the control to #{richText.value} and retrieve it via the same expression.
And, of course, you could define a managed bean and bind the control to one of its properties. This option provides the most flexibility, but isn't quite as simple as the other two options above.
