Would be great we could collaborate on improving HtmlArea.

Yes, that could become a fine contribution to qooxdoo-contrib for people interested in an out-of-the-box solution for an HTML editor. Actually, we never wanted to package up such a combined solution (other than the sample included with HtmlArea), as one would need to support so many variants that it easily becomes (again) a heavy-weight configuration thingy. Attaching toolbars and other elements to HtmlArea should be fairly easy in qooxdoo to satisfy individual requirements. But if you think you've come up with a solution that could be widely used, that's great. Anyway, as I suggested it should rather be a separate contribution (maybe called "HtmlEditor") next to the existing HtmlArea. The area itself should stay a plain html editing widget without custom chrome (toolbars, etc.). Well, we'll figure out the details, also when Alex is back. What do you think? In the meantime you could have a look at http://contrib.qooxdoo.org for the contribution details and then email me directly to answer all your questions and getting you started, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
