Hi all

We are looking for a decent free rich text editor to use in one of our applications. I have seen some really cool non free ones which we may use but thought I would check if there any good free ones out there.

 Regards

There are tons: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=free+rich+text+editor&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

download from here........... http://rte.codeplex.com/

 Thanks for the replies all. I decided to give FreeRichTextEditor a go.

I am having a problem with it though and there is no support at all. The text editor is displaying on my page but none of the images are being found for the buttons. In the config file the image path is : rteImagePath = "../images/";

I'v added an image folder in my root directory and copied the images in but I still just get red arrows where the buttons should be. Any idea's where it might be looking for these images?

Regards

Endo

Hi Endurance Man ,

I use fckeditor and I am very satisfied with it. Since you are using images also, fckeditor can be a good choice. It can be used from clientside and from asp.net web page also. You could just visit the site and take the decision.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask if the problem persists or if any help is required. Thank you. Happy Programming!

That's as good a reason as any for NOT using it.

Regarding support and documentations, fckeditor is very easy to get with. There is a very supportive forum with lots of common issues already raised and solved. This means before asking you will be able to sort out lots of common deployment issues. If you are going to use fckeditor please follow the installation guides first so that you will not have to spend lots of hours for common but typical issues.

And it is absolutely free!

Thank you. Happy Programming!

I would second to that! We used FCKEditor in our project here.. It's widely used, stable and free..

Hi,

You must double check the Image folder.

I assume that the Images folder is the root directory. so your image path should is:

rteImagePath = "images/".

or is in CSS file:

../images/XX.gif.

Debug the page which includes the editor control. and check the url of the image and find the right path of the image.

I hope it is helpful to you.

You can use HtmlEditor of AjaxControlToolkit.

Hi,

FCKeditor is by far the best free text editor. It has tons of features and can be easily configured if you have basic javascript knowledge. I use FCKeditor in all my projects.

 Hi guys, thanks again for the replies

I got the image problem sorted, just needed to remove the two dots at the beginning of the path name.

I have created a few sample pages with different editors on them including FCKEditor, ill let my manager check them out and see which he likes.

Thanks again!
