Good WYSIWYG editor?
-
We've gone through the pain of integrating and heavily modifying CKEditor to replace our aging HTMLArea editor and in the end it's awful. The cursor disappears, the icons look fuzzy and horrible, the resizable window is incredibly flaky and it's a backwards step. Can anyone recommend a browser-based WYSIWYG editor that works in all major browsers, and is flexible enough so it can be easily customised?

TinyMCE is the defacto-standard that most PHP applications default with. It has it's flaws as well, but it's better than FCKEditor, IMHO. Second to that you might consider XStandard Lite (http://www.xstandard.com/[^]) It's an ActiveX/Java component though so I believe your users need to install something. Second to that, many CMS type software are slowly offering/switching to Markdown as an alternative syntax to HTML, might want to check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown[^] There was a few editors a while back, but only one turns up right now and it's quite buggy in IE7...still the markup is so trivial anyone can write in it within minutes and it's converted to HTML on the fly, so you don't have to worry about XSS exploits sneaking in. p.s-All web based WYSIWYG editors are crazy buggy, they all hack the hell out of the IWebBrowser2 component and each browser needs work arounds. Have you tried running in FireFox? Typically that browser fares best when it comes to working in WYSIWYG editors. Cheers, Alex

Chris, i also tried the CKEditor, but i was not convinced. So, i opted for FCK Editor. Its better than CK and supports all major browsers..
