Where is this ScriptSrc doc?

I think Adobe did a POOR job integrating FCKEditor. Besides basic mapping of 
the CFINPUT tag, all they did is "hide" (and poorly) features which they didn't 
want to support for it (specifically file and image management). Yes, the 
default connector is currently set to be ASP.

When I told management that CF8 has WYSIWYG HTML Editor, they expect something 
decent. Of course besides basic text editing, they want something which allows 
for image upload too. 

Adobe didn't even bother modifying the other menu options which triggers the 
BROWSE SERVER or UPLOAD FILE/IMAGE buttons. If anyone clicks on those, it will 
cause an error. All you need to do is either create a hyperlink and right click 
on it (non-source) within the editor, it will pull up the "hidden" options. All 
that Adobe did is disable the upload/file manager feature with a flag and 
"encrypt" the CFM file so that people can't enable it. 

I was able to go to FCKEditor site and get the files needed to get the file 
connectors working. Go get the config and upload file and over write the one 
that is there now. You will then be able to edit it. If you want, get the CFFM 
file manager to make it work even better.

Now people say go use something else... WHY? Isn't this a FEATURE of CF8? 
During a presentation of CF8 from Adobe, I asked the question and even BEN 
FORTA himself said the image/file upload is there (which is true but the amount 
of work to get it working isn't right). Maybe if you are currently using CF7 
which you already integrated a WYSIWYG editor, it's no big deal... but right 
now I am working on a new site with CF8 and would like to maximize the use of 
the platform we purchased.

Sorry... had to get that out.
