Dan, I am a huge fan of Xstandard (xstandard.com). It's an active-x object (I think) and it requires a browser plugin. The free version doesn't handle file upload, but the pro version does and is awesome!!! It has web services that allow you upload images and hook directly into the database. The professional web services are available in ASP, PHP and some other stuff. I wrote a ColdFusion version of the webservices at:

Guys/Gals, I've been research WYSIWYG/RTF controls to use in our product. I'm specifically looking for control that will automatically upload images. This means you must be able to cut-n-paste from a Word document that includes images and the images should automatically be uploaded to the server (whether that happens via Ajaxian-like process or as a multipart/form doesn't matter.) So far, I've found the following products: XStandard (http://www.xstandard.com/) * PRO: Produces the best looking XHTML * PRO: Very simple interface * CON: Can lose formatting from Word Documents * CON: Not cross-browser compatible. Ektron eWebEditPro (http://www.ektron.com/ewebeditpro.aspx) * PRO: Nice interface * PRO: Lots of features * CON: Expensive * CON: I'd really like the +XML edition, but it's like $17k Sferyx HTMLEditor Applet Edition (http://www.sferyx.com/htmleditorapplet/) * PRO: Pretty feature rich * PRO: Decent pricing * CON: Klunky implementation (the API is very strange to work with) * CON: The automatic uploading of images isn't working w/IIS6 at the moment--working with them to fix the problem. If this doesn't work, it's out of the running. RealObjects edit-on Pro (http://www.realobjects.com/edit-on_Pro_4.435.0.html) * Haven't gotten my trial license yet. Ephox EditLive! (http://www.ephox.com/products/editliveforjava/) * PRO: Very nice overall * CON: Expensive licensing. The biggest problem I have with many of these products is licensing. Several of these products, for our use anyway, would require a per Server CPU license (which doesn't make any sense to me) and they get very pricy in a multi-web server environment where you have multiple CPUs. Our user base in general isn't very computer savvy, so we really need a product that will allow them to cut-n-paste from Word and have formatting and images left intact. This means products like fckEditor, TinyMCE, etc won't work. These implementations are built upon the RTE components built-in to the browsers. They require you to manually upload the images you want to use, before you can correctly insert them into the document. If you have any comments on any of the above products or have some other recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Thanks! -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244231 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
