this editor is horizontal http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/simple.php and I seem to find only horizonal editors, has anyone came across a vertical editor? any examples? how long would it take to build?
I mean the toolbar is horizontal and I want to use a vertical one instead? (I don't mean for languages) I heard it's very difficult to do
I believe this is the problem they have: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=13834
If it is only the toolbar, you could try to move it (i.e. with tinymce) via css. I just overlooked the html code and i see a simple table construct there.
This is just a text area widget:
<textarea wrap=true rows=10 cols=5>xxx</textarea>
This would create a "vertical" entry area.
Using the css overflow:hidden will remove the scrollbars entirely as well.
Picking up on Karsten’s suggestion to amend TinyMCE’s layout so that it has a vertical toolbar, Googling “wysiwyg editor vertical toolbar” turned up this page on the TinyMCE forums:

Looks like you’re allowed to change TinyMCE, but that achieving the vertical toolbar involves doing a custom layout:

I think you’ll need someone with HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills for this. No idea how long it’d take. Someone might have already done it, but Googling “tinymce "vertical toolbar"” only turns up 9 results.
