IE 5.0+ and Mozilla Gecko v1.3b+ are capable of providing a basic WYSIWYG
HTML input area and spell checkers are available for both browsers. Copy
and
paste of formatted documents from other apps to these input areas work
well.
See demo at http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/. Note to make this
work
as WO component will require some work but after a couple of days learning
JavaScript and DOM I was able to create a simple WO component using the
demo
as a starting point. For other browsers you will need to choose one of
several alternatives:
Java Applet
Flash
JavaScript and HTML text area (basically buttons that append HTML tags to a
text area). You can also provide a preview button to show what the document
would look like when displayed as HTML.
There are also several commercial packages and free projects on
www.sourceforge.net that may meet your needs. ProjectWonder (Open source WO
components) has a WO component that works with IE I believe.
Here is a pretty complete list of products and open source projects that
have "TTW" (through the web) editors.
Hi JR
I don't see your list of TTW editors here. You might have forgot to include
it
