I've been spending about 8 hours already on trying to add 2 simple buttons to the Rich Text Editor: A "Save" button, and e "Cancel" button.

I know how to do the Saving, I also know how to do the Cancelling,
but I can't find any way to add the 2 buttons to the bottom of the Editor itself.

I've been trying to use the "Dialog" widget from Yahoo, and then add the Rich Text Editor to that Dialog, which also didn't really work out well, at all. But then I realized that must be overkill.
I mean, all i just want is to add 2 simple <input> buttons, all the javascript functions that need to happen after that can easily be handled by my framework.

Now i'm on a dead end. I've tried to simply "hack" the editor and add the buttons through "innerHTML", which messed the whole editor up, and so didn't work either.


How can I easily achieve this? Just the adding of 2 <input> buttons within the Editor, at the bottom.
It can't be that hard, can it?

I'm using the code from:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples ... ditor.html

So the editor moves around from spot to spot on the page.

Whenever someone pushes the "collapse" button on the top right, the content is being saved to the database and the Editor is being hidden. That's all working perfectly fine.

But now I would like to add a "Save" and a "Cancel" button to the bottom of the editor itself, to make it more userfriendly. Because pushing the "collapse" button to save the text does not feel intuitive enough. Also, in my current solution there is no real option to "cancel" the editting of a part, unless you refresh the page.

This is why I would like to implement the "Save" and "Cancel" button to the bottom of the Editor itself ( to replace the behaviour that is currently attached to the toolbar-collapse - button.

Refer to my first post, it's still very valid. All you have to do is put a div around the textarea, then add your buttons to it. And instead of hiding the Editor's container, hide the container around it. Then attach some listeners to the buttons and your done..
