Uh... as much as I would love for thist to work... it doesn't.
HTML Code:
<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="60" style="width:600px; height:{$editor_height}px" tabindex="1" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]"></textarea>
</if>
</div>
<if condition="$show['editor_toolbar']">
<div>$vBeditTemplate[extrabuttons]</div>
</if>
