<h1>Setting the CSS Used by EditLive!</h1>

The instance of EditLive!
-->
<script language="JavaScript">
// Create a new EditLive! instance with the name "ELApplet", a height of 400 pixels and a width of 700 pixels.
var editlive = new EditLiveJava("ELApplet", 700, 400);
// This sets a relative or absolute path to the XML configuration file to use
editlive.setConfigurationFile("styles_config.xml");
// Specifying CSS for use by editor
editlive.setStyles(encodeURIComponent("h5.warning{color:red;font-weight:bold;}"));
// Before sending HTML to the instance of EditLive!, this HTML must be URL Encoded.
// Javascript provides several URL Encoding methods, the best of which is
// 'encodeURIComponent()'
editlive.setBody(encodeURIComponent("<h1>Specifying CSS for Use with EditLive!</h1><h3>Using the EditLive! Configuration File</h3><p>The EditLive!
