i have to say .. i tried a ton of them, and they all sucked ... The
one that surprisingly sucked the least for me? Yahoo Rich Text
Editor. I gotta say .. I was using tiny_mce before, mainly because of
the extensibility and some level of "if these other people are doing
it, it can't be ALL bad". But as it turns out ... it's pretty bad.
It's comparatively really sluggish, and while it's POSSIBLE to extend,
I found it to be pretty annoying to do so. I know YUI has a bit of a
reputation of being big and complicated, but they have great examples
of just dropping it into your page, and it really did "just work" for
me.
YUI won't let me load its resources from the yahoo site with on-demand
ajax loading (i think because of cross-site issues, but I haven't
looked closely yet), so you might have to host them locally, but if
people care, roughly the chunk I use to do rich text with YUI is:
$(document.body).addClassName('yui-skin-sam');
var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('<wo:str value="$^id"/>', {});
myEditor.on("windowCreateLinkRender", function(e)
{ e.panel.cfg.setProperty("zIndex", 10001) });
myEditor.on("windowInsertImageRender", function(e)
{ e.panel.cfg.setProperty("zIndex", 10001) });
myEditor.render();
var saveOnSubmit = function() {
myEditor.saveHTML();
$('<wo:str value="$^id"/>').form.stopObserving('ajax:submit',
arguments.callee);
};
$('<wo:str value="$^id"/>').form.observe('ajax:submit', saveOnSubmit);
(The weird zIndex stuff is so you can put a YUI in an AjaxModalDialog,
which sits at 10000). Note that ajax:submit thing is something
special we do in Wonder, so if you're doing your own Ajax stuff,
you'll have to figure out an equivalent -- that basically makes the
myeditor commit its html to the textfield before submitting through
ajax.
Maybe I'll move this component into the YUI framework, but some of the
hoops I jumped through for adding script resources reliably are a
little bit weird, so I figured I'd just share the important part in
the meantime.
