Description:

Browser-based wysiwyg editor, html editor and text editor. Using JavaScript and DHTML, no java or plugin needed.

It's a great frontend to edit data for a user with no or limited html knowledge.

Features:

• Use the editor for browser-based wysiwyg editing of html code
• And/or to edit HTML code
• Or as plain text editor
• Direct integration into your website using the toolbar as shown in example 2
• Text formatting like bold/italic/underline and much more.
• Colors with color selector.
• Select special characters.
• Inserting and edit images and links (with image selector).
• Copy/paste text, for example from ms office (word etc). Advanced paste handling: pasting of text with markup can be restricted.
• Resize the editor (can be disabled, can define maximal width and height)
• Can be directly used as form field. Also see the Bs_Form package.
• Draw the editor into a div, or use an existing textarea field that will be replaced. This way it's 100% backward and non-js compatible; an old browser just sees the textarea field.
• Customize the editor area using a css styles string or a css file.

Requirements:

• Internet Explorer 6 or above is needed.
• It could be updated to work with ie5.5.
• Most of this could be done mozilla-compatible. But it's a lot of work...
• Nothing serverside is needed. Example 1 uses a serverside image browser that's written in PHP. You can do such a thing in your preferred language.
