| Status: | Draft |

Have you wanted a better text color selection plugin that allows for colors that span the entire RGB color space instead of the selected colors provided by the dijit TextColor Plugin If so, then this plugin is for you. The dijit._editor.plugins.TextColor plugin provides two action buttons on the editor toolbar that make use of the dojox.widget.ColorPicker instead of the dijit.ColorPalette for color selection.
Features¶
Once required in and enabled, this plugin provides the following features to dijit.Editor.
Button with icon in toolbar for changing the color of the selected text.
Button with icon in toolbar for changing the background color of the selected text.
Use of dojox.widget.ColorPicker for complex color selection.
The plugins are registrable in the editor via the following commands:
foreColor - Enable the the text color plugin.
hiliteColor - Enable the text background color plugin.
Usage¶
Basic Usage¶
Usage of this plugin is quite simple and painless. The first thing you need to do is require into the page you’re using the editor. This is done in the same spot all your dojo.require calls are made, usually a head script tag. For example:
dojo.require("dijit.Editor");
dojo.require("dojox.editor.plugins.TextColor");
You also need to include the CSS for it. For example:
<style>
@import "dojox/editor/plugins/resources/css/TextColor.css";
</style>
Once it has been required in, all you have to do is include it in the list of extraPlugins (or the plugins property if you're reorganizing the toolbar) for you want to load into the editor. For example:
<div dojoType="dijit.Editor" id="editor" extraPlugins="['foreColor', 'hiliteColor']"></div>
And that's it. The editor instance you can reference by 'dijit.byId("editor")' is now enabled with the dojox variant of the TextColor plugin! You can use the buttons to alter the colors of selected text.
Limitations¶
- The dojox.widget.ColorPicker has some CSS issues when combined with certain themes on certain browsers. For example, claro theme on Google Chrome renders a bit off.
- The plugin is not A11Y (accessibility) compliant since the dojox.widget.ColorPicker is not A11Y compliant.
