I can confirm that Ektron's Flash editor works on the Mac (you need to run
Flash 6 or higher). Personally I think the product name is a tongue twister,
"eWebeditWP" but at least the price is right (US$55 for unlimited users in
one URL).

Ektron claim that all of the work-arounds using Java to get fully featured
editors to work the same way on the Mac as on Windows have serious flaws. I
can't see any urgency from Apple and Microsoft to fix the underlying
problems.

Although I haven't tested Ektron's flash editor on Mac, I do think I know a
little bit about the issue your talking about (mainly because we have run
into the same problem with our java applet wysiwyg editor, ActivEdit).

The issue is that the Java API called LiveConnect (invented by netscape) is
not implemented correctly on Mac OS X. The LiveConnect API lets an applet
communicate with JavaScript

Michal Geci:
I have discovered that this Ektron's flash based wysiwyg editor doesn't
work on Macs (tested on iMac G4 with Mac OS X - Mozilla and IE browsers)
because his Java runtime environment doesn't support Live content (data
live streams)!
Can anybody confirm this?
