I have a problem: I would like to develop a sophisticated blogging engine on top of laszlo. The thing is: there's no "real" text editor for this platform. Even the "rich text" editor doesn't support images (or smileys). Besides, editing text in flash has always been a chore and I think it will always be.
That's the reason why I recently got into the process of building legals. Now, making a "real" text editor from scratch is a complex endeavour in itself, and besides, that task has already been accomplished several times. My personal favourite is TinyMCE.
I think it could well be impossible to neatly integrate OpenLaszlo legals with TinyMCE (correct me if I'm wrong), mostly because TMCE uses an iframe to edit a document's contents. What I'd like to do is let the browser handle things so that everything is transparent to the end-user. Of course that implies that developers have a means to communicate between their laszlo apps and their DHTML _javascript_.
I would really like to experiment a bit on this subject. I think OL/DHTML _javascript_ communication is not ready yet. But it shouldn't be too difficult to implement, or am I mistaken here?
Anyway, I'd really appreciate a hint or two about the source code, so I could figure out where to start...
Cheers,
Candide
