YUI Rich Text Editor is a project developed by Yahoo! as a part of the YUI Library for an online rich-text editor that replaces a standard HTML textarea. It allows for drag and drop inclusion and sizing of images, text coloring, realignment, fonts, italic and bold text. The YUI rich text editor uses a plug-in architecture and it is skinnable along with the rest of the YUI.{{cite web|url=http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/|title=YUI 2 API Docs and Archives|work=yahoo.com|access-date=22 June 2016}}
Components
The YUI Rich Text Editor (RTE) contains the following components: Editor, SimpleEditor, ToolbarButton, and ToolbarButtonAdvanced. Some differences in the SimpleEditor and the Editor control are that the SimpleEditor uses JavaScript prompts and select elements rather than YUI defined elements.{{cite web|url=http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/#choosing|title=YUI 2 API Docs and Archives|work=yahoo.com|access-date=22 June 2016}}
