Here's what happens when you choose Edit > WYSIWYG from the menu: 1) The browser requests the edit URL: xwiki/bin/edit/Space/Page?editor=wysiwyg 2) The editwysiwygnew.vm velocity template is evaluated. 3) wysiwyg_editProperty velocity macro (from macros.vm) is called to replace the "content" plain text area with the WYSIWYG editor. 4) wysiwyg_inputProperty velocity macro (from macros.vm) is called to prepare the WYSIWYG editor input value. A key for the input URL (see below) is generated and this key is used to store the editor input value of the session. 5) wysiwyg_storeConfig velocity macro (from macros.vm) is called to configure the WYSIWYG editor. The inputURL configuration parameter looks like xwiki/bin/edit/Space/Page?xpage=wysiwyginput&key=yXrg&render=true . Notice the key in the query string. 6) The browser receives the response and executes the JavaScript code 7) A new WYSIWYG editor instance is created using the configuration that was generated on the server by the wysiwyg_storeConfig velocity macro. 8) The editor replaces the plain text area identified by the hookId parameter with an iframe and sets its src attribute to the inputURL configuration parameter. 9) The browser makes a request to the inputURL in order to load the iframe 10) The wysiwyginput.vm velocity template is evaluated. 11) The key from the query string is used to retrieve the editor input value from the session. 12) The browser receives the response and triggers the load event on the iframe. 13) The WYSIWYG editor, which listens to the load event, is notified and makes the iframe editable then loads the editor plugins and the rest of its UI.
