    Does anyone need browser based HTML editor?

    Hi there,

    Just finished the next version of my editor - http://garbuz.com/ve3.0/example.htm

    Welcome to test and use it.

    This editor was developed for my CMS. It can modify text in two modes: Design and HTML. Also it can inserts hyperlinks, images, tables and special characters. It has a preview dialog that opens in separate window.

    What is nice about this thing is that it doesn't require any specific server platform. It can be called from any sort or web development language or technology (ASP, PHP, CFML, Java/JSP)

    It can be used as an object that is embedded into the page. All you have to do is just supply some data into init() function.

    Also you can create as many instances of this editor on the page as you want. Just make sure you avoid double naming.

    Looks great. I had been working on something similar but hadn't yet found time to finish it.

    Just one thing; the Insert Image button doesn't appear to work.

    It is doesn't have to insert image - it has to modify an image that is alredy inserted.

    If you want to insert an image, you will have to upload it on the server first.

    As I said before, this editor was designed for the content management system ( http://demo.garbuz.com/ - this is the demo version ) In this system you can upload images into the gallery and then drug-and-drop them into the editor. After image was inserted you can modify it by clicking on this button.

    Without image gallery you can just copy and paste any image right into the editor window, and after it's done try this button.

    Ah, sorry for the confusion. Very nice work.

    Just to clarify, are you providing this editor free? If not, do you have any pricing info (I couldn't find any on your site)?

    If you guys need the source code - it's not a problem. I can give it to you for free. If you need more than that, for example something like integration into existing system - we need to talk about it.

    Send me an email and I will send you a source code. ( If you can't get it from my site )

    Yes I have something very similar to this. It's a problem because the execcommand property for image works on local files not web based files and you can't auto complete the dialog box to allow the groovy options in there.

    One thing that might be nice to add is an undo and redo function. The MSDN website says it's unsupported and there are no details on it... but trust me it works

    I found that clients get confused easily so simply make it as close to Windows as possible... and especially Word because they are familiar with it.

    The next thing I want to add to it is a spell checker. I've found a Java one but I want to avoid using Java.

    Edit: that'll teach me for forgetting to log it into source safe... I've just realised I've accidentally removed the undo, redo and font size functions!

    You are right!!! Just give user simple interface that they used to see every day. Otherwise they will kill you by asking thousands of questions.

    I think you can find something here http://spellchecker.com/

    I would give a link to the source but I've currently only got it built into my content management system... and that's password protected. If I get 5 mins I might try to extract it to a plain page.

    good job man,
    I think this may be the nicest editor I've seen yet.

    Two questions:
    1. Is there a place I can download the source?
    2. Can it be used with ASP or Shorthand?

    You can't download the source, but you can write me a letter and I will send it to you

    It can be used with ANY technology, including ASP (and ASP.NET too)
