Online HTML editor | The Coffeehouse

Our contractor asked me if we have any preference for the online text editor of our new website. Do you have any suggestions?

Out of curiosity, what does C9 uses and what do you think of it? I remember it was said in an old thread, but I can't find it right now.

Thanks

Use a text area. It works in every browser and works with addons like Spell Checkers, Form-Auto Fill, and other interesting things.

Channel 9's text editor (as well as Slashdot) often doesn't work and rarely works with addons.

I am tempted and probably will for some areas, but for the CMS I probably want something little more fancy.

I think you have that back to front

Nobody ever got thanked for making a clever CMS

C9 had it right the first time, but they never configured it correctly, so it didn't perform the way it should have.

Surely the poeple who did our first site didn't. Please let me hope that this time it will be better Smiley

this is what they suggested, but they didn't give a specific reason, maybe it is just what they are used to right now. Why would you preferr it over elmer's suggestion?

Channel 9 switched editors some time ago, the current version we use is Tiny MCE - http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

Human after all

If you are picking a "wysiwyg" then I would pick tinymce over ckeditor, the documentation for ckeditor basically does not exist, where as tinymce is well documented and has a pretty active forum.
