Is there an open source javascript rich text editor similar to gmail's?

Question

I've looked at free javascript html editors, and I haven't found any that I feel handle links intuitively. I like the way the gmail editor does it (also the same way blogger.com) does it.

Does anyone know if there is an open source editor that handles linking that way? Jquery would be preferable.

Answer 1

I use TinyMCE. It is probably the most powerful JavaScript version and it has really clean markup! The entire UI is customizable too. They have alot of info on the TinyMCE website

Here is the jQuery version: TINYMCE plugin

Answer 2

I use TinyMCE myself as Banzor suggests but here are a few other alternatives eash with their own strengths:

• WYMeditor - http://www.wymeditor.org/
• CKEditor - http://ckeditor.com/
• FCKeditor - http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor
