I have been evaluating inline JS editors for years and I can say that I have
not very been happy with any of them so far. Even with the best of them a
user can mangle a well formed page in no time flat. And not to mention that
JS can be extreemly picky and temperamental. We are dealing with a googie
spell issue right now that is getting on our nerves. I am not all that
suprised that you are having problems with placing an editor in a complex
cfwindow design.

The JS files that comes out of the box with CF 8 are large, as some of the
JS libraries to begin with. The Ext-all library is 450+ k even with all the
white space trimmed out. It is just the nature of the beast.

IMO your best bet would be to forgo CF's built-in AJAX components and roll
your own using the available libraries like EXT, Jquery, YUI or what ever
best suits your needs.

If you are worried about load time you can turn on compression on the server
or roll your own (I have read about people doing it with cf a while back).

>>Ok, so, show me some trick on trimming down ext-core.js (repackaging vs ?)
,

Got to the site and down load it. You can build your own ext library using
only what you need.
