I have used TinyMCE, and others WYSIWYG editors, by now, the only one that
generates XHTML valid is FCKEditor, I use TinyMCE before but produces not
XHTML valid code and horrible attributes like tinyMCEwith="100"... in image
tags, etc... FCKEditor is perfect form me and I can see that the HTML code
produced for this editor is clear and XHTML valid :)

I have used FCKEditor with jQuery and I never had any problem of
integration.

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:

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
