What does this control do?
Converts any textarea element into a full featured WYSIWYG editor, thus allowing the user to control the appearence of the information that he/she is about to send without having to edit source code.
For an usage example check out the Meteora.Editor demo.
How to use
In order to use this control, paste this line of javascript right
at the beginning of your script tag:
Meteora.uses('Meteora.Editor');
We will need a textarea too:
<textarea id="id_of_the_textarea"></textarea>
This is the general usage example:
new Editor(
// ELEMENT
// textarea, you can use an id or an object reference.
'id_of_the_textarea',
// OPTIONS
{
// null
}
);
The code generated by the editor will be saved periodically into its associated textarea, in plain HTML format.
