Hi,
It does look pretty nice. Few other shortcomings I see. There is no option for
Font-family and no Table insert feature. There is also no paragraph styles like H3
even though it understands these if put in by source view.
While you are asking you may want to ask for these too.
Have you successfully integrated this into Spectra?

Elissa,
I searched for months to find something to use for Macintosh clients. I
didn't find any decent solutions in the US, but someone on this list pointed
me to a company in Denmark called RealObjects that has a product call
edit-on pro. It is a cross-platform Java applet with similar functionality
to eWebEditPro. It has JavaScript calls that take content out of the applet
and put it in hidden form fields before submitting. It works well, but a
few issues have held up its implementation for us...
1. No style sheet support, but they say it will be there soon.
2. Modifies some HTML code, but they are working on this problem.
3. Copy/Paste from Word isn't quite right.
The company's tech support / documentation has been decent (and in English),
and the product price is very reasonable. The company site is
http://wwww.realobjects.de and the demo is available at
http://www.realobjects.de/eopro13/selectproperties.php3. Ignore all the
ugly extras in the demo that make the interface confusing. When you
implement it for use in something like Spectra, it looks like this (we have
some options turned off, such as font):

Good luck, and let me know if you find anything else. We're still just in
the testing stages.

Subject: eWebEditPro replacement for the Mac
Hi Everyone,
I have spent a significant amount of time searching for an web based editor
for Mac clients to replace eWebEditPro which comes with Spectra. As seems
to be the common scenario I have had no luck. The only option seems to be
to use eWebEditPro and a PC Emulator, however this is not a suitable
long-term solution. As a result my company is considering developing our
own.
What I am wondering is has anyone else developed a Mac compliant editor
in-house they are willing to sell? If so, my company would much prefer to
purchase a pre-built editor rather than invest in the time required to
develop our own. If not, any ideas/suggestions on time frames and/or how to
go about building such an editor would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Elissa
