Rich-Text Editing with CKEditor
For the description field of the contact information, we use the Spring MVC <form:textarea> tag to support multiline input. Suppose we want to enable rich-text editing, which is a common requirement for long text inputs such as user comments.
To support this feature, we will use the rich-text component library CKEditor (http://ckeditor.com), which is a common rich-text JavaScript component, with integration with jQuery UI. The files are in the folder /src/main/webapp/ckeditor of the sample source code.
First we need to include the required JavaScript files into the template page (default.jspx). Listing 16-43 shows the code snippet you need to add to the page.
