 Cross-browser rich text editor for SiteExperts
Internet Explorer is no longer as dominant as it used to be, and other browsers (especially Firefox and others based on the Gecko engine) now have a significant market share, possibly over 25%. SiteExperts' rich text editor works only in IE, and then only if Javascript is enabled. Non-IE users (like me) have to type in HTML: - If you lay the HTML out the way you would when developing a web page (line breaks, indents, etc.) SiteExperts' system inserts too many line breaks (BR tags).
- Non-IE users have to spend as least as much time thinking about and checking the (poorly laid-out) HTML as they do on the content of their messages.
So a cross-browser rich text editor would increase the quality and possibly the number of contributions. Most forums have cross-browser rich text editors, and a fairly standard formatting language (e.g. [b]...[/b] means bold type) which usually works if Javascript is disabled. phpBB is the best-known, but I've also seen them in forums run by other other server-side languages, notably ColdFusion. Are there any ASP-based cross-browser rich text editors? If so, could they be used in SiteExperts? Started By philcha on Jun 6, 2006 at 2:50:40 AM
