Hey,

I have an website with a lot of textareas, and in those textarea you can
write html code. Like making an table, centre text, bold, etc. Then the
content will be shown as html on the website. Just like hotmail has an
editor when you write an email.

Does anyone has something like htmlarea of Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/htmlarea, but it is in php, and I want
something like javascript, that I can use with my RoR website. An
advantage is that you can switch between the user friendly interface,
and the basic html code.

Thanks
N.

Actually, HTMLArea is pure javascript. The original developer stopped
maintaining it, but another picked it up and renamed it XINHA (Xinha Is
Not HTMLArea) and continues maintaining it. Xinha is available at
http://xinha.python-hosting.com/

To add to what the others have mentioned, the dojo toolkit includes a
simple editor as well (www.dojotoolkit.org).

I highly suggest FCKEditor.

On it’s own it’s a fabulous cross-browser WYSIWYG editor - but combined
with the plugin it’s even better - it integrates file/image
uploading/placement right into the tools. It’s easy to extend/configure
and seems to have far fewer “quirks” than TinyMCE or HTMLArea - I’ve
used all three extensively.
