The HTML Rich Text Area provides a programming interface that can be called
through javascript. These functions include setting the HTML Rich Text Area to
read-only after the page has been drawn, changing the HTML, changing the height of the HTML Rich Text, returning the HTML or responding to user initiated events.
Examples of these functions are demonstrated at the bottom of the page.
These functions are particularly useful in database driven web
applications. Depending on a user's permissions the may not be allowed to
change information or you may want to validate their input before they click
Save.
