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](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/](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](http://www.dojotoolkit.org)). - Mark. – Mark T.

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.
