TJ -
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into those issues. This is also
the first of I've heard of scripteka, I'll definitely post these
there.
Brian -
That's actually the main reason I built RTE. I had a site that loaded
content and forms via AJAX, and couldn't find a good editor that I
could setup and tear down at will. To add it to a textarea with a CSS
id of "my_editor", just use:
var rte = new Control.RTE('my_editor', '/images/rte');
If you replace the form (via AJAX or something), or just want to
restore the original textarea, use:
rte.destroyEditor();
...and the original textarea will reappear. I find this particularly
useful when you give the user a choice of entering content in
plaintext or HTML; as they select their choice, you can instantly
convert the textarea to the desired format.
Did you download and test ColorPicker locally with 1.6? On my site
I'm still using Prototype 1.4, which it works fine with.
