Simple Editor Applet

You can use Javascript to change the UI of the Simple Editor Applet. The following methods allow the general editing preferences of an editor applet to be persisted (i.e., saved and restored by your applet). Note that the Simple Editor Applet and the Style Editor Applet use different methods for setting preferences.
