Have you looked at: http://www.htmlarea.com/
It has a nice comprehensive listing of all the different WYSIWYG editors currently out there that have been registered with that site. I've been using Kevin Roth's X-browser RTE (http://www.kevinroth.com/rte) with variating degrees of success, as well as others. I've found that while overriding certain functionality is relatively easy if you're familiar with DOM, some of the behaviors seem very embedded within somewhere that's not easily accessible within the code of the editor. For example, changing the font for a selection... In Kevin Roth's RTE, a call is made to document.execCommand(). I'm not quite sure *why* this will format the selection as [font face="whatever" size="some_number"]selected text[/font]. Is there somewhere out there that defines execCommand a little better so we can understand what's going on? Like you, I've been having to write "cleaner components" that will "scrub" the resulting HTML back into a style that I like. Best of luck in your search. --- Matt Woodward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, next question.
