Simple HTML/Javascript WYSIWYG Editor

[Drakkon]

Any one out there know of a good WYSIWYG editor to put on a webpage that doesnt have too much int he way of special features? All i want users to have is Bold, Italic, underline, link and bullet. If it can be appended on to a textbox even better. The cleaner the HTML it outputs the better.

Any recommendations?

On the site itself? I think it's called tinyMCE or something like that. If you really want to know, install Joomla and check the config settings in the admin panel, it has two editors listed that you can use.

Not much help, but I'm not too sure.

You know you can mod the config of fck to limit the available editor options. It's fairly easy to do.

Well, that's only what - a half dozen HTML tags to learn how to use. Just use notepad. It'll be a learning experience.

This is Bold = This is <b>Bold</b>

This is Italic = This is <i>Italic</i>

This is Underline = This is <u>Underline</u>

Anandtech dot com = <a href="http://www.anandtech.com">Anandtech dot com</a>

This is a bullet ? = This is a Bullet & #149; (with no space between the & and the #)



Easy enough, aye?

No fckeditor?

I use it all the time and honestly, I think it's great.

I think you missed the point. He doesn't want his users to have to know or use html tags. Some of these people are probably still confused about not finding the "any" key on their keyboard. 😉

If you're using Drupal, try "Tiny TinyMCE" it has those three.

Edit: I'm not sure if it has bullet and link..

Hey now I'm dealing with college professors - they are lucky if they know the difference between "keyboard" and their "computer" 😉

not using any drupal or any CMS, just straight HTML/Javascript - found widgEditor and that seems to be fairly bare bones.

Hey, that's pretty nice. Looks clean and simple. I've got an application where I've been considering using something like this or a pared down fck but it's been on the back burner for a few weeks. When I get to it I'm definately going to check this out.

That any key is an elusive bastard, its been 10 years since I've heard of it and I've yet to find this mythical key...

TinyMCE. You can configure it to just have the options you want to provide.
