Description

Editor's ability to display its editing form using different display controllers (display) can be very useful to have the style of Editor fit seamlessly into your site. However, you may also wish to gather information from the display controller that is being used by Editor - adding styling information or other options for example.

This method provides the ability to access the node that the display controller uses for the form's display. Typically this will be a modal element, but it depends upon the display controller being used.

The node returned by the display controllers included in the Editor package are:

• lightbox: The modal container
• envelope: The envelope container
• bootstrap: The Bootstrap modal node
• foundation: The Foundation Reveal Modal node
• jqueryui: jQuery UI dialog node.
