I need a WYSIWYG web editor (Web Based).

Question

Read the entire post PLEASE.

I am not looking for a Windows based editor. I am looking for a web based editor that has some of the following. I know of this post, but its not what I want. Please don't mention it.

1. A lot of mark up capabilities. Exp. Bold, Italics, Indent, Left & right align, etc...
2. Has Live Preview just by typing, don't want to have to push a button to get it.
3. Looking for a .NET Editor or cross platform editor.

Point: I must make it clear that I have seen FCK-Editor, FreeTextBox, tinymce, markdown etc...

To Compare: I am looking for something with the capabilities of TinyMCE but has the live preview of MarkDown

Answer 1

This one is pretty great: http://www.fckeditor.net/

Answer 2

I second fckeditor, it's a bit outdated however

If you want to spend money, check out Telerik's Ajax RadControls, they have an editor in their package:

Answer 3

If you like the one that stackoverflow uses, it is the WMD editor: http://wmd-editor.com/

Answer 4

I don't know if the WYSIWYG is free or not, but they have some pretty cool controls you can check out and they are reasonable on pricing if you talk to them.

Answer 5

My favorite is Moxiecode's TinyMCE

Answer 6

I need one with Live Preview. FCK-editor Does not Offer that and WMD-Editor doesn't offer the capabilities of TINY-MCE.

Answer 7

Found a line to make live preview work with FCK Editor case anyone was wondering. FCKeditorAPI.__Instances['instanceNameHere'].GetHTML();

Answer 8

I don't know of one that offers live preview, but you could do something simple like using TinyMCE, and onchange of the text area write to the innerHTML of a different div with the contents of the TinyMCE editor. This would probably give you what you want.

Answer 9

You could also check out the YUI Rich Text Editor.

Answer 10

I recommend WYMeditor: http://www.wymeditor.org/

Answer 11

Hello! I think you have not yet tried out Xinha. Its Opensource but doesn't seem to have "live" preview...
