According to the documentation, this should do the trick.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>CKEditor 4</title>
</head>

<body>
    <textarea id="idDemo" name="demo"></textarea>
    <input type="button" value="Get Data" onclick="myFunction()" />
    <script>
        function myFunction() {
            var content= CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData();
            alert(content);
        }
