web-based html editor

Anon

I am looking for a html editor for creating or modifying web pages in the browser (insert images, text, tables, etc.). If somebody knows where I can get a freeware one, please tell me the url. I would like to get the code source.

Thanks.

frymaster

are you looking for a text editor or a wysiwyg tool like dreamweaver?
do you mean a browser/editor combo or something that is viewable in a browser but runs on the server?

You can try and get it from hotscripts.com or else, you can get some perl codes for that. I have seeen it before, but dont' remember the location. Just search for it and you will get it.

Hth,

This one is kinda neat, it's a flash application:

I've made a realtime one that does not require the user to know html (I got it as close to a word-processor as I could). It uses a lot of complicated Javascript code, though, in order to do much of the work on the user's end. And it isn't documented.

The data is stored compactly as code, and the html is created on-the-fly when the page is viewed.

I've put a lot of time into it (1000+ hours?). But perhaps if I put it up on say SourceForge, it could be improved (and documented).

Here's a screenshot of the text interface.

So... I'd like to know how much interest there'd be in such a project.

wow. i think you should definitely put that up on sourceforge.

Dare I say the M-word? Microsoft has a DHTML Editing component that works with IE5.5 and most of it works with v4 and up. It's free.It does just about everything MS word does. Also MSHTML does most things except the tables.

Anon

All this work while you could just use the built-in MSHTML editor, just make an IFRAME, put the design mode on, put the HTML you want to edit in the IFRAME, and use execCommand's to edit. After the HTML is edited you put the HTML in an hidden TEXTAREA and you post it. There's a but, it only works in MSIE 5 and higher.

This is how I made the HTML editor for my content management system. I have a screenshot at http://oxygene-webdesign.nl/ocm.jpg

You can even copy Word and HTML documents into the IFRAME.

This is one hell of a feature of MSIE!

Lennert,

That looks fantastic! Is it on the web somewhere that we can play with it. This is the sort of thing I think a lot of people could make use of...

I 've putted a sample on line. You can reach it at http://oxygene-webdesign.nl/ocm.html. Some stuff is in Dutch, but you should get it anyway.

The sample is ripped out of my content management system, and modified. Normally when you add an image you get an image wizard, in which you can select an image from an image library. Same goes for adding a link.

When you want to add an image or a link in the sample you get the interface from MSIE. The cool thing is that if you add an image you can move and resize it. You can paste HTML pages and Word documents into the frame without the lost of formatting.

The javascript part at the bottom of the source is the most important.

Lennert!

Lennert,

Fantastic -- thank you! I'm am developing a similar application right now, and would be happy to show it to you once it's complete -- same sort of idea with a few more features.

Finally, it looks like Microsoft may have done something right with their browser!

Lennert,

I went to the previous url:

But got a "Page cannotbe found message. Do you still have the sample I can look at?

thanks
