A great source of info.

I was looking for a lightweight alternative to TinyMCE. JWYSIWYG was my first choice because I use jquery, but after all the hassle to install it it turns out it wont work in IE6. The fix on the bugtracker doesnt work either.

So back to this page, tried NicEdit. It worked better but refused to remove tags (eg headings), and the clever function to render a plain textarea also refused to accept inputs. After a few edits the text became a soup of tags which I could not inflict on my users.

Finally tried Whizzywig, and it works without fuss in IE6 and FF3.

I hope this info helps other developers find a working script.

@BTM:

I wrote sLedit, and your right, it’s not a new text editor. Rather it’s just a wrapper class that allows you to take ANY RTE and integrate it into a inline editing functionality. Click to edit for FCK, Tiny, or anything else with a halfway decent api.

@Gary – Not that I know of, but I would check out the text editors websites and see if it is possible.

I am developing a website and need an online text editor that I can use with a variety of fonts not normally installed on user’s computers. I can embed these fonts into a HTML page but do any online text editors allow me to use embedded fonts?

Thanks

Gary

@Edwin, Yeah it is getting spammed I need to get a new spam filter. TinyMCE allows for both absolute and relative image paths. TinyMCE still does cut some code out that is invalid but you can change it in the settings. I think the coolest feature is that you can add your own custom CSS to the text or images.

I think your blog is getting spammed, isn’t it? But that besides… I am still thinking about TinyMCE and I suddenly remembered the common reason why I went to fck: in the past tinymce alwats “corrected” the output on his own way. But very often it did things I didn’t want. Like making the paths to images relative or cutting code away. How does it handle the ouput now?

@Boris, Thanks I will check out Spaw.

@Edwin, Thanks for taking the time to write. Since I just recently switched to TinyMCE I’m not to sure about updates but maybe someone here can answer that for you. Anyway its great to hear from you.

@BTM, Thanks for pointing out sLedit is just a clone of TinyMCE.

Hi BTM,
Thanks for the fast response. I think I will test tinymce in the coming days and if it’s really as good as you say (and I expect that you’re right) I will make the step to tinymce too. How is tinymce with updates? Have you got to update the whole system or also only parts of it. Because I am planning to tweak some things to my own flavour.

It’s a little bit a dissapointment. I expected so much of fck, also because there is a whole team behind it developing the system. But indeed, reguarly I get complaints of clients too that some parts are not working good. One time time when somebody tried to center a paragraph and a picture at once, the whole system crashed. They are now bringing out version 2.6 I hoped that that will be better, but maybe it’s better to step over to tinymce…

@Edwin: TinyMCE just hit 3.0 recently, and I must say I’m impressed – I’ve been using it for a long time now, and hadn’t had any major problem (on my wife site it outputs DIV’s instead of P’s and I have no idea why …) and as for FCKEdit … oh boy … where would I start – ther hadn’t been a day when a client would not complain that the editor isn’t working quite right – cant create paragraphs, cant change text style, cant insert / edt table bla bla bla …

And as for the article – sLedit is just a TinyMCE clon/mod – cant really tell what has been changed o.O

Long time ago I used TinyMCE, but then I stepped over to FCKeditor, because it looked more professional to me and in that time it has better valid output then TinyMCE. But now you make me doubt again. If you have tinymce vs. fck, what are the most important things to look at when you have to choose between them?
