Change "mode" Option for TinyMCE

[cpoteet]

The option "mode" has deprecated the usage of "specific_textareas". Suggest we change it to:

tiny_mce_config.php

mode : "exact",
editor_selector : "mceEditor",
elements: "content"

Maybe make that "elements" pluggable to allow theme developers to add other textareas in admin section.

Oh and here is the URL explaining the deprecation

Considering that WordPress is already using the editor_selector, wouldn't mode: "textareas" work just as well? Having to specify the specific ID of the textarea when you can simply add mceEditor to it as a class seems silly.

That is as long as were comfortable turning every textarea in the admin section to a visual editor.

Ummm.. Then what, exactly, is the point of "editor_selector"? Because from what that page says, that will let you only turn areas marked with the mceEditor class into visual editors.

As a matter of fact, I'm right. "specific_textareas" is exactly the same as "textareas". Look at tiny_mce.js, line 1638.

Changing it to "textareas" will work and it won't turn all textareas into visual editors, because we're using an editor_selector.

Trunk patch: Eliminate use of deprecated "specific_textareas" option in TinyMCE configuration.
