I like the idea. some thoughts on this: - it´d be cool to have a right-mouse-click option when inserting something new, like: right-mouse-click, layer with different options, select something (e.g. paragraph), edit ... (instead of the drop-zone or additionally) - I don´t like the idea of not having a "save" button. I don´t want to save everything I do instantly. I´d like to edit the whole document and save it when I´m finished. - options for images: url, class, alt, dimensions - options for links: url, target, class - not sure how to solve this one: image as part of a paragraph - maybe you need some predefinitions about what the user can insert where (e.g. an image is allowed within a paragraph, headlines are not allowed within paragraphs, no headlines in a list ...) - "various stuff" should be optional and easy to extend - proposal: it´d be great to extend the editor with predefined boxes one can insert. so, I could build a form-box and the editor could just drop that box somewhere. again, it´s important that this box can ´t be dropped anywhere ...
on FCK vs. TinyMCE: - I´ve been playing with both editors a lot lately. FCK has a severe problem with paragraphs (you are just not able to force paragraphs). TinyMCE has it almost solved. moreover, you can define valid_elements with TinyMCE. - I don´t want to start a discussion about this topic here but in my personal opinion, TinyMCE is much better currently. thanks, patrick Am 16.11.2006 um 09:48 schrieb SDisk SDisk: > 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...
