- slythfox, on 07/18/2009, -0/+12These editors are meant for integration into a forum, content management system, etc. It allows users more customization while still staying in their comfort zone, and it helps us developers not have to reinvent the wheel every time we want to implement something like this.
But why we need 15 of these things is beyond me. - bscene, on 07/18/2009, -3/+14these are WYSIWYG editors not HTML
- woofers07, on 07/18/2009, -5/+14If you're using web-based HTML editors, do us developers a favor and just step away from your keyboard.
- Kragnerac, on 07/18/2009, -0/+9No Bespin? https://bespin.mozilla.com/
- aussieNickuss, on 07/18/2009, -0/+8I guess you don't really understand what these WYSIWYG editors are used for do you? Sure, you or I could use NotePad++ to edit HTML very easily, but the people CMS' are usually designed for wouldn't have a clue where to start with HTML coding.
- davethemac, on 07/18/2009, -1/+9Come on guys, they're an essential part of every content management system. Sure if you type fast and know html well that would be faster. Possibly why some of them offer source code view too. If you're more than some one who can just type fast you add or remove functionality from them. Everywhere I've been it was the RTE, then FCK then Tiny. Coders everywhere moan 'why did they ask us to make them the CMS if they always get us to use it?
Some of those look really cool by the way, and I'm already itching to give them all a wee play. Have any of you tried to make one of these, just out of curiosity? - Garciat, on 07/18/2009, -4/+10No thanks. Hand-crafted ftw.
- Thomasaka, on 07/18/2009, -4/+9Notepad++ FTW
- cre8tivate, on 07/18/2009, -0/+4I use these type editors in the custom CMS that I build for my clients. Although I actually use InnovaEditor 3 http://www.innovastudio.com. I've found it to be the most powerful at affordable for commercial use. I used to use FCK in my projects, but its licensing is cost prohibitive for many of my smaller projects. Bespin, however, is exactly what I need to build my virtual office so that I can develop on the go, anywhere I go.

- gamepr0, on 07/18/2009, -1/+4html/text editor = hammer and nails
WYSIWGY = nailgun that may shoot the nail in a radius of 10cm of where you actually wanted it
there, fixed it for you - 6minuteabs, on 07/18/2009, -1/+4Kudos to the author for showing some editorial meddle. It must have been very difficult paring this list down from the total list of 16.
- gamepr0, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2textmate > intype > WYSIWYG
- dr3d, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2totally neglected cute editor .. http://phphtmledit.com/ .. versions for ASP.NET and PHP
- Rotzooi, on 07/18/2009, -2/+4Notepad is bloatware. I prefer to use copy con.
- brim4brim, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2TinyMCE is the only one I've used that supports paste from word properly.
It actually removes words crap and produces valid HTML. It can cause some display problems but it works the best of any I've tried.
I'd love to know if someone ran into one that works better. It was requested of clients for a recruitment website who wrote the applications in word and pasted them onto several sites. - XoieJuno, on 07/18/2009, -3/+5I've worked with TinyMCE and it's pretty crappy. The whole idea of this stuff is to let users edit things like message board posts and put in some stuff but they end up being a pain.
- moothemagiccow, on 07/18/2009, -3/+4The one fault with WYSIWYG is the failure to insert headings. They all churn out <p><b>This is a heading</b></p>. If they have a dropdown with text size users still won't bother.
- guytoronto, on 07/18/2009, -4/+5Letting people update their website content with a WYSIWYG editors is equivalent to letting a Helen Keller be an interior decorator.
- inoow, on 08/13/2009, -0/+1Ok...this should be given a try...experienced that thing...was a problem...
- nouvellerben, on 07/24/2009, -0/+1I gave it a mention in the comments setion.
- webmaster66, on 07/23/2009, -0/+0Thanks for post. It’s really imformative stuff.
- Baryn, on 07/18/2009, -1/+1Not sure why WYSIWYG is even being mentioned. It's not an option, at all, for anyone. You should always get a professional or other person with the know-how to code a website properly.
- lateralus, on 07/18/2009, -1/+1vi, bitches.
80 column limit. - se7envii, on 07/18/2009, -5/+5Notepad/Notepad++ and Firebug is all that's needed really....
- 4AntiStupid, on 07/19/2009, -1/+0WYSIWYG HTML generally suck. It works better to use an XML format designed for WYSIWYG then apply a style sheet to make it into HTML. That way the HTML can be tailored better to different environments.
- KibibyteBrain, on 07/18/2009, -3/+1A hammer is usually good enough, but that doesn't stop me from using a nail gun from time to time, if only because it's more fun.
- adeelarshad82, on 07/17/2009, -11/+5this is really cool selection of html editors. definitely some of the best ones out there
