Hello,

does anyone have an example how to use the HtmlEditorField like in the CMS? What are the requirements and how is the field defined and initialized?

Thanks and Greetings
Michael

Create an HtmlEditorField in your form and that should include all the javascript required for the field (at least in 2.4 it does).

Since I'm Ajax loading the form fields the trick was to require the JS files at initial page load and reinitialize the html editor fields after a complete Ajax call.
