Hi everyone, I've been getting increasingly frustrated by the flexibility and output from all of the WYSIWYG editors available for the web so I want to try and build an editor experience for our 2nd generation of CMS that will achieve the following:
- Integrate in to our sites without requiring CSS tweaks to get it looking correct - this means no iframes. - Produce strict XHTML every time without fail. - Be simple to use. - Be quick to load and run. - Limit scope for the user to mess up their site design. I want to try and use JQuery to achieve all of the above (and hopefully a bit more). To see the foundation of my editor have a look at: http://www.simpleweb-online.co.uk/stage/editor/test.htm Ok, it's very simple indeed, and doesn't actually let you edit anything!! However, the idea is that you can designate a div as the 'editor' and then within this you can drop elements (I would imagine having a drop zone at the bottom?) for example: - p tag - h1-h4 etc - ul - image - definition list - various other stuff (e.g. a google map) Each of these elements would have an associated content editor for it. For example an h1 would just have a 1 line text box, a p a text area, an image a number of controls for src, alt, size etc. It's my thought at the moment that I will use ajax to save back updates and re-ordering so that there is essentially no 'save' process. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Perhaps I'm barking up totally the wrong tree. Tom
