WYSIWYG Editing Using Wyzz
Adding Wyzz to your web pages is very simple, requiring only two steps.
1. Include the Wyzz script in the head of your page
2. Add a 1-line script after the textarea field to be converted. Simply add the following line between script tags:
make_wyzz('id')
where id is the ID of the textarea in question.
An optional third step is the modification of Wyzz to suit your needs. In particular, it is very simple to include and exclude functions from the list below, and to change the order in which they appear on the toolbar.
And that's it! Full instructions are in the download, but it really is pretty easy.
You can even add WYSIWYG editors to a number of different textarea elements on your page, simply by giving them unique IDs and carrying out step 2 above for each textarea you want converted to a Wyzz editor.
