G'day Vlad, Thanks for posting about your XStandard editor. I've been looking at your product off-and-on for a while, and never got round to getting a hold of it and using it seriously.
One thing worries me though ... with WIndowsXP SP2 supressing all active-X controls except Microsoft's, how do you get around this? I was developing a flash app the other day, and every time I went to preview it on my own PC, IE blocked it and I had to click 3 places to tell IE that I wanted to allow my own app to run on my own PC.

Microsoft is no longer supporting or enhancing it. Any editors that have color-pickers or font-selectors do not follow best-practices in Web standards. Some think that if you take HTML 4 generated by WYSIWYG editors, shape, twist, squeeze and pull it, you get XHTML. If you want accessible and semantically meaningful XHTML, then generated XHTML from the get go. Check out this article: http://xstandard.com/wysiwyg/ I am one of the developers of XStandard - a standards-compliant XHTML (Strict / 1.1) WYSIWYG editor. We offer a free version so that Web standards are in reach of every developer. A Mozilla/Firefox version will be available next month.
