View example in new window.

This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>

## Setting up the Editors HTML

Setting up the Editor's HTML is done by creating a `textarea` control on the page.

<form method="post" action="#" id="form1"> <textarea id="editor" name="editor" rows="20" cols="75"> This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br> This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text. </textarea> </form>

## Setting up the Editors Javascript

Note: This example also includes `ContainerCore` so that we can use the color buttons.

Once the `textarea` is on the page, then initialize the Editor like this:

(function() { //Setup some private variables var Dom = YAHOO.util.Dom, Event = YAHOO.util.Event; //The SimpleEditor config var myConfig = { height: '300px', width: '530px', dompath: true, focusAtStart: true }; //Now let's load the SimpleEditor.. var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor('editor', myConfig); myEditor.render(); })();
