WYSIWYG form field entry

[jimoblak]

Chris Bolt at

http://www.zeus12.com/

offers a WYSIWYG editor in his download section. I just spent some time looking at commercial versions elsewhere. This one is free under GNU LGPL.

The editor actually runs off of IE components but Chris's implementation is awesome.

If anyone knows of a better way to format HTML in a form field, please let me know.

The drawback is that it only runs in IE - - but the cross-browser java versions of WYSIWYG editors that I reviewed elsewhere seem sluggish.

The latest versions of Netscape/Mozilla also allow for WYSIWYG editing with Midas at

http://www.mozilla.org/editor/

(Point your Mozilla browser at

http://mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/).

So, with some server-side code, you should be able to detect the client browser and load the correct editor.
