Visualforce RichText Area Component - Rerender vf pages containing rtf

You might faced a challenged, atleast once while developing pages, where you need to rerender the page which contains a <apex:inputFile/> or an Rich Text area field <apex:textarea richtext="true"/> . There is no out of the box solution for this but there is alternative solution where you can implement a CKEditor to do so.

How can I solve this ?

I have been using ckeditor for quite sometime and eventually developed a vf component for myself called "customrtf". Customrtf is based on salesforce's rich text implementation and borrows code from it. This is the very fist version of the component, and many other features will come eventually.

What it does ?

• Lets you convert a textarea into a richtext area
• Allows re-rendering of the page

How to use it ?
