rich text editor

Question

hi, i want to implement richtext editor in my website. can anyone provide me links to simplest possible editor.

Answer 1

TinyMCE is very simple

Some example code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<your installation path>/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
    mode : "textareas",
    theme : "simple"
});
</script>

<form method="post" action="somepage">
    <textarea name="content" style="width:100%">
    </textarea>
</form>

CKEditor might be a replacement.

Answer 2

One freely available editor is OpenWYSIWYG: http://drupal.org/project/openwysiwyg
(Actual site is http://www.openwebware.com/ , which is temporarily down)

Answer 3

If you're using JavaScript, and want to use the same text editor Google uses, it's included in their Closure Library.

Answer 4

FCK Editor:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fckeditor/

Answer 5

Ckeditor has been good to me and to give better known usage it is used in the latest Fogbugz wiki.

It is updated frequently and reasonably simple to extend.

Stackoverflow use a customised version of WMD the last time I checked.
