Just wanted to get an idea for ways (web) developers get round the short fall of (most) WYSIWYG editors, whereby the users that are editing the text aren't always HTML literate enough to produce good/great results. In the past we have resigned ourselves to either locking down the editor or simply not supplying one. What are other peopl...
Hey, I've checked Stackoverflow and found this question/discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/98852/wysiwyg-text-editor-for-webpage Important: However, I'm looking for something that comes with special "administration panel" -> So it behaves more like CMS (in backend mode). I'm rewriting other's programmer code which is pre...
I am a complete beginner trying to develop for FCKeditor so please bear with me here. I have been tasked with developing a custom plugin that will allow users to browse a specific set of images that the user uploads. Essentially the user first attaches images, then uses the FCKeditor to insert those images. So I have my plugin directory...
I am using tinyMCE as my text editor on my site and i want to reformat the text before saving it to my database (changing the ’ tags into ' then in to '). I cannot find a simple way of doing this using tinyMCe and using htmlentities() changes everything including <>. Any ideas? ...
I am starting the website development process for a local charity organization and am looking to house the website within a Drupal infrastructure. I am familiar with how to theme things for these kind of CMSs, so that is not at issue. I am, however, looking for a good print (or e-book) resource on how to use drupal to its best advantage...
I'm making a small php website. I find it useful to prototype or layout the pages in a WYSIWYG web page editor. I'd like to get suggestions on WYSIWIG web page editors that work well in a php development pipeline. Please share your favorites and describe why you like them. ...
I am trying to add different styles within a textarea eg bold, different colors etc WYSIWYG editors (eg tinyMCE) used in web pages typically do this but I am having trouble working out how they do it. You cannot do this: So how do they achieve it? ...
We're testing WYSIWYG editors, and we cannot see to make them work with asynchronous postbacks. We put the TextBox(/textarea) in the UpdatePanel and call a simple save to the DB, and all of our WYSIWYG toolbars disappear, leaving us with a bunch of HTML in textboxes. This is the one we've been working to implement: nicedit.com/ We have...
I have been having some general problems with TinyMCE inside Opera. Some of these include: the save button produces an error when submitting to a popup with an entire form, including TinyMCE, nothing gets posted to the popup (when TinyMCE is removed it works fine) Has anyone else experienced these errors and/or does anyone have a sol...
There are several (very good) rich text web editors written in Javascript (eg FCKeditor, YUI Texteditor and many many others). However I couldn't find any tutorial on how to build such a component. Something that would explain both high-level considerations (architecture) and/or more details in low-level "critical" points (ie why do mos...
Ok, i've read most relevant questions asked here previously on this but I still don't see a clear "best in class" suggestion for WYSIWYG editors for ASP.net I've used fckeditor up to now (found it ok but many problems with config/permissions on folder etc.). I'm looking for something that has a lot of flexibility/config options and ca...
The (web based) software I am working on needs a way for users to be able to customize an email template. I'm familiar with TinyMCE et al. web based wysiwyg editors. However they strive to produce valid (x)html markup, with heavy use of style sheets. All of which won't render nicely in email clients (yes, I'm looking at you.. outlook 20...
I've been using the FCK Editor for several of my client sites in the past. Recently due to some new browser security updates(I'm assuming) some of the functionality is now breaking. I was planning on updating those sites to the most recent version, but sometimes I think the FCK is overly complex and tends to confuse my clients more tha...
I want to know the basic principle used for WYSIWYG pages on the web. I started coding it and made it using a text area, but very soon I realized that I cannot add or show images or any HTML in the text area. So I made it using DIV, but I did not understand how I could make it editable. So, in gist, I want to know how(in principle) to m...
What are your thoughts on using Windows Live Writer communicating with your website as the content editing system? Windows Live Writer supports multiple category blogs (i.e. can be news, articles, and blogs), multiple category pages, tagging, XHTML WYSIWYG editing, image and file uploading via services or ftp, and the client has a "Inse...
When I started programming web pages, it became immediately obvious that the WYSIWYG editors sucked. The HTML output was difficult to maintain, did things in ways you may not have agreed with, completely messed up existing pages if opened, couldn't handle code in the page, and was polluted with dead or irrelevant code like <font ...></f...
For Web-dev, can the PHP Processor be installed on a regular Windows XP machine, such that viewing PHP files through a browser executes the PHP script? (NOT Windows Server 2003) I even downloaded PHP but it appears they want it installed on a server. Any other ways to quickly preview and run PHP on a local machine WITHOUT uploading the...
A few days ago, I read a question asking how many developers hand code their HTML/XHTML rather than rely on the WYSIWYG tools - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/406052/do-most-web-programmers-not-designers-use-wysiwyg-editors-or-hand-code-their I tend to lean towards designing ASP.NET server controls rather than User Controls for use ...
Configuring TinyMCE to allow for tags, based on a customer requirement. My config is as follows (grabbed from the TinyMCE samples; sorry for the length, I didn't want to leave anyting out: tinyMCE.init({apply_source_formatting : true, button_tile_map : true, content_css : '/themes/site_themes/default...
Is it possible to have an editable div element that can only contain text and images. I understand that you can use the rich controls like TinyMCE and jWYSIWYG however I do not require all this functionality and want something lightweight. Basically all I want is a plain text editable element where I can also add various images such as...
