WYSIWYG editor to change textarea

am 28.09.2009 22:30:11 von ANGELO ZANETTI

Hi all,

I have been looking to implement a WYSIWYG editor that will automatically
transform a into a Rich text area / WYSIWYG. We have lots of dynamic content that is pulled from a database and files. Therefore we cant really change the <textarea> field. I have tried the tinyMCE but its causing conflicts with some existing JS code that cant really be rewritten. A lot of other editors actually generate the rich text area in a strange way and don't use the <textarea> field at all. Are there any editors that you people will know of that operate in a similar way to tinyMCE, IE you include the JS in your head and it will change all the textarea fields to rich text areas?

Poorly named I know, but apparently those were the guys initials (he had mean parents who weren't aware of the connotations in the English language) I heard today as well that there is a new version of this out called CKEditor (apparently he spoke to someone who knows about the English connotations) although I've not yet looked into this myself.

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in here: TinyMCE was the one I usually recommended yet your experience has been one of my biggest gripes about it. I would lean to believe that they were attempting to "Dummy Proof" it and in doing so made it frustrating to use unless, you learn how to use it the it was meant to be used and not how you expect it.

Coincidentaly I have just written about a new HTML editor precisely with that focus. You may want to take a look at this article. The editor was meant to be integrated as a plug-in of tha forms generation and validation class, but it may was as standalone.
