> That's one reason I like TinyMCE, you can customize it to your needs so > you're not giving people access to completely break everything. I've got one client with a TON of admin forms with FCK all over them. The client does *everything* in Word and then paste, and that's why we went with FCK. Let's face it, for every line of text, Word is going to paste another 5 lines of unwanted junk. Even though FCK is handling the Word stuff pretty well, we *still* get calls from the client going "IT'S BROKE!! WHAT'S WRONG?!?!?" "Uh, Dude, quite pasting from Word and that will take care of your problem." But, this is a big legal firm and they aren't going to do it any other way. Period. We've turned a few FCK features off, as we don't want to give them the chance to completely screw everything and the CSS Style sheet running the pages that display the stuff they input is downright scary since we're trying to override stuff from Word that the FCK Editor Wrod Cleanup still leaves in there. So, I *LIKE* the way TinyMCE looks, and it's certainly lighter and faster to load. How's it handle pasting from Word? I've haven't gotten around to testing that yet. -- --- Les Mizzell ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Best Rich Text Editor (was: RE: Looking for very simple CMS)
Toolbars can be configured in FCKEditor, too. And the new version works on a couple other browsers. TinyMCE is very nice, but the lack of image upload and preview is enough for me to not use it. My experience is that clients need and love this feature. Rick Root developed a "plugin" that kind of solves this problem (it lacks image preview). Perhaps TinyMCE has adressed this, in which case it would make sense to give it a second look, because it certainly beats FCKEDitor on presentation alone. >> -Original Message- >> From: Irvin Gomez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> I like FCKEditor v1.6. > >FCKeditor v1 only works with IE. > >> Version 2 is out with additional features (like form >> creation, tables, fonts, colors, etc).

I like FCKEditor v1.6. Version 2 is out with additional features (like form creation, tables, fonts, colors, etc). Some people love them; I consider them useless and potentially dangerous - if given too many options, users will soon destroy the site's look. (it should be pointed out that you can always configure the editor's toolbar to only include those features you deem appropriate, so using v2 is perfectly ok; I don't use it bacause I don't need any of the extra stuff and I don't feel like working on the extensive customization needed to make everything work smoothly - a perfect example being the hard-coded upload directories).

Re: Best Rich Text Editor (was: RE: Looking for very simple CMS)
With Tiny's plugin authoring capabilities, integrating an existing spellchecker is literally like 10 lines of code. We did that for our main application, and it was a breeze. Tiny's also got a built-in plugin for IESpell (which I've never used), and supports the Google Toolbar's spellchecker (which works very well - much like GMail's). cheers, barneyb On 8/10/05, Roger B. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So what is the best Rich Text editor today, for those of who need to build > > our own simple CMS? > > Until TinyMCE gets native Spellerpages support, I'll consider > FCKeditor the go-to WYSIWYG editor. > > -- > Roger Benningfield > http://journurl.com/ > http://admin.support.journurl.com/ > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

RE: Best Rich Text Editor (was: RE: Looking for very simple CMS)
I like KTML. It is cross browser, multiple OS. The only issue for many developers is that it requires dreamweaver to first install into your site, but it is easily made into a custom tag after that to use without dreamweaver at all. Their support is pretty good. http://www.interaktonline.com/Products/KTML/Overview/ I would say that FCKeditor has done a lot lately to catch up in the market, and is compelling for its price (free). I have yet to use it, but it looks good. http://www.fckeditor.com/ A lot of CMS's use ektron's product. http://www.ektron.com/web-content-editors.aspx As for some of the others... Ask when the last major update has been, and when the next one is coming. That is as important a factor as any other for me these days as I have gone through 2 that have simply stopped doing development. -Original Message- From: Connie DeCinko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 1:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Best Rich Text Editor (was: RE: Looking for very simple CMS) So what is the best Rich Text editor today, for those of who need to build our own simple CMS?
