That's not really what I'm after.

Basically, I'm fine with saving the data in a text field but I want to change the edit template to support HTMLArea.

Basically, I just need to find a way to add a onLoad call to the body tag and some script tags to the header (so the scripts are already loaded when the onLoad call happens).

That would go into the general page layout, that is in

/design/(yourdesign)/templates/pagelayout.tpl
and
/design/(yourdesign)/override/templates/pagelayout_section_N.tpl

I already had come to that solution but it kinda sucks for one reason: you'll end up with ALL textareas being HTML editors, even with such where it doesn't make much sense (descriptions of objects for one).

Now HTMLArea can actually just turn some textareas to editors (by using the name attribute of those) but just how am I supposed to know this before the page is assembled?

It would actually work with onFocus events on the textareas in question but it's not exactly an elegant solution either. Whomever decided that only body may have onLoad evets should be shot ;-).

Ah well, maybe I can figure it out. I'll post it, rest assured (works better with IE than with Mozilla at the moment but the script is alpha so...).

You can attach onload events with just scripting.

window.onload = someFunctionPointer;

If you need multiple events, then you'll need the DOM methods attachEvent and addEventListener, neither of which work in Opera 6 or less and IE5-Mac.

if ( window.attachEvent )
window.attachEvent( "onload", functionPointer );
else if ( window.addEventListener )
window.addEventListener( "load", functionPointer, false );

Of course, for any function-pointer resource you can substitute-in an anonymous function.

Also, the onload event handler applies not only to <body>, but also to <applet>, <embed>, <frame>, <frameset>, <img>, <link>, and <script>
