textarea -> HTML texteditor. Which system to use?

leatherback

Hi All,

For the past weeks I have been fighting with htmlarea, which transforms textareas in online HTML editors, as part of a CMS I am building. Unfortunately this scripts gives me so many headaches with errors in the javascripts, that I am now lookin for another system to do this.

Who of you is using a textarea conversion for editing webcontent, which converter do you use, and how do you like it?

Dunno about comparing them, but there are some links to various alternatives in the FAQ (including one, I believe one that mentions Gecko's native rich text editor).

Hey Weedpacket,

DO you have any clue as to which thread that should be? Could not find it just now 🙁

thx,

Jelle.

Hi Jelle,

I still use htmlarea in a project since I have spend a lot of time apapting it (being not a fan of javascript, but in the end I found it was possible to modify it, maybe easier than some others), but when looking around for alternatives this one seemed quite promising:

It supports browsers beyond IE, and the html can be transformed to xhtml (this has always been bugging me with htmlarea, and since it makes use of the DOM it is ways more elegant than my beautification approaches with php).
