WYSIWYG editor that doesn't modify HTML

Question

I have a problem with FCKEditor and TinyMCE.

I need a WYSIWYG editor that doesn't modify HTML when changing views (like fixing broken HTML etc.)

I have tried different configuration parameters, but none of them turn off html modification entirely.

Is there a WYSIWYG editor that doesn't modify HTML even when its broken?

Answer 1

Very hardly. The actual WYSIWYG editing is done by components integrated in the browsers (Midas in Firefox, contentEditable tag in IE). In my experience, they all tend to auto-fix broken HTML as best as they can. All the WYSIWYG editors build around that functionality.

I think some degree of auto-fixing is kind of inherent to any WYSIWYG editor, because broken HTML can't really be edited.

What are you trying to get around? Try to describe what your actual problem is and maybe somebody can come up with a different way.

Answer 2

I believe FCKEditor, TinyMCE, and many other WYSIWYG editors use editable iframes. This means they allow the browser to decide how to modify the HTML and is more of a builtin function (builtin in the sense of the browser). Someone please jump in here if I'm wrong.

Answer 3

Try creating your html on you desktop and copy and pasting it to your browser editor just make sure you use the same mode on each editor ie html to html or wysiwyg to wysiwyg

Here is the desk top editor I use and it works well

Technology is moving so fast it is impossible to keep up and learn how to use all the new tool coming out I like to try out new thing when I have the time but I still need to get the thing done that I need to do So I like to do the bulk of my html editing on my desk top and this is the faithful tool I use

For anything you do online it is important to understand how things work so you are not at the mercy of others I believe that it is important to understand and be able to edit html and create web pages here is the easy way that I have found to achieve this
