TinyMCE Pros: * Has excellent documentation * It is very easy to integrate it with your custom image gallery, list of links, etc. * Supports custom CSS TinyMCE Cons: * Does not allow full HTML page editing (removes <html> and <head> tags). I had a very bad experience with this trying to produce HTML email template. (the story is documented here http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1130) * TinyMCE has problems when used on one page with included prototype.js. You can see the full description here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1211383&group_id=103281&atid=635682 I have a fix for this if you are interested. Best regards, Luben
I am very interested in this issue - is it something you could post here? * TinyMCE has problems when used on one page with included prototype.js.> You can see the full description here: > > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1211383&group_id=103281&atid=635682 > I have a fix for this if you are interested. >_______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
Hi Colin, The solution is to put "if (typeof(inst) == "function") continue;" statements in several places in the code. I have attached a patch for this. You need to download TinyMCE version 1.45RC2. Apply the patch to file tiny_mce_src.js and then compress the file using jstrim.pl script to produce tiny_mce.js It will be easier to get already patched TinyMCE from Mailr (http://mailr.org). It''s in the public/tiny_mce directory.

I''ve done a pretty comprehensive review of browser-based WYSIWYG editors, and my conclusion has been that FCKeditor is the most featureful and actively maintained. I have since then used it on several occassions, and it seemed to work pretty much as advertised.

Don''t your browers offer this feature? For some time now Konqueror spell checks text entered in any textarea.

If you''re building a CMS for a customer, for instance, it''s not very likely that they''re going to be using Konqueror. Regards Henning Pedersen
Wilson-- WOW. Removing the ''tab'' that I had placed in the source to make code more readable actually made this work. I am not real sure about the existence of a ''tab'' causing the application to not function properly. Is this something that is known throughout Ruby? Is it inherently bad about ignoring ''tab'' characters? Just curious because I like to keep my code as readable as possible but will need to obviously keep this in mind when coding.
