Nice work, Werner. I guess this makes the tags I was working on for the
Dojo Editor kind of useless. I will warn you that the Editor widget has
some flaws with rendering which are particularly evident on a page with
TabbedPanes. On Firefox you cannot edit the document and on IE the
button bar doesn't show up, though the controls work. For this reason
I've switched to TinyMCE in my own projects (though I was still working
on Dojo for the Tomahawk tags). The Dojo folks are aware of the issues
with the Editor widget, but I'm not sure their timeline for addressing
it. I will say that even with these limitations the Dojo editor beats
the Kupu implementation, and personally I think the documentation should
be updated to encourage folks to use this trick instead of the inputHtml
tag.
Another word of warning for the Dojo code - their tab implementation has
issues when nesting multiple tab panels. That being said, it is spiffy
looking and works well with simple pages.
Thanks,
Mike

Just to give you guys an example of the power of this lib:
Following code enables a full blown rich text edit control:
<s:dojoInitializer require="dojo.widget.Editor"/>
<h:form>
<h:inputTextarea id="editarea" styleClass="dojo-Editor" value="hello
world"/>
<h:commandLink action="submitted" id="submitted" value="[Submit]"/>
</h:form>
(the example can already be found in the sandbox examples under the dojo
dir)
The initializer api will not be changed too much the only things I can
think of is to move the generated require code from the head to the body
and to add additional properties (for component building there is an
outject namespace mechanism as well which yet has to be integrated)
