The Activedit API(Application Programming Interface) supplies events that can be used to customize an instance of Activedit. The following function uses the aeapi_local_onLoad() event to apply the document body background and text colors to an instance of Activedit in a form.
function aeapi_local_onLoad(aeObject, fieldname) {
aeObject.DOM.body.style.backgroundColor = "#application.bodybackgroundcolor#";
aeObject.DOM.body.style.color = "#application.textColor#";
}
The above example uses the application variables defined in a ColdFusion application.cfm. You could also use local variables or constants.
