Dave, I've done some research on this issue. There are a few out there to look at: HTMLArea (http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/) TinyMCE (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/) WYSIWYGPro (http://www.wysiwygpro.com/) The big issue for me in my research is the ability to edit HTML on IE and also on Mozilla based browsers with no problems. You will find that HTMLArea has problems in these areas. For instance, when you boldface something in a wysiwyg editor using IE, it will in-line CSS code around the text you are making bold. Mozilla browsers will put strong/strong around them. They don't work across platforms. TinyMCE is free and deals with these issues fairly well, but it doesn't have a cross-platform spell checker. WYSIWYGPro costs money but it does it all and is made explicitly for use with PHP. If you don't care about cross-platform usability then HTMLArea would be a good choice. TinyMCE is rather new but actively developed. Good hunting! Scott -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Best and easy html text area replacement tool?
I guess I have no patience with the topic police since it's difficult to develop a good PHP user interface without the use of JavaScript, and I consider anything that involves getting the most out of PHP on topic, but since I'm in charge of absolutely nothing, all I can do is provide a little information. I've actually used a couple of these JavaScript add-on's and like the structure and reliability of HTMLAREA. http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ It provides a nice plug-in interface that other developers have used to make JavaScript extensions available that includes; * Image Upload Manager * Spell Checking (On a Unix/Linux host) * Enhanced Table Formatting * Multiple Language Capability (haven't look too close at this one) * Even something for Audio (haven't looked at this, either) * And probably some that I haven't mentioned (doing this from memory). And the price is the same as PHP (free).
