I have tried and implemented (at one point) the FCK editor when I was trying to resolve a Mac browser and Mozilla issue for a client. It truly is a straight forward install (check their forums).
All that being said, it's a nice editor but did not meet my requirements for mac and Mozilla. In fact FTB has better support for Mozilla, and neither has rich support for Mac IE 5...

A very good web editor.

Didn't I see a shameless plug for this in another post?

Does it support MAC IE 5? Mozilla? Safari?

Roland, thanks for the link to the innova product.

It says XHTML. I've seen that before and found that I can break the XHTML in testing (cause it depends on MSHTML). (If I can break it I'm sure a user will too!!)

Does their XHTML really shape up?

If it does do they prepackage support for custom XHTML schemas (basically kick out most HTML features to make it simpler and add a few attributes to a tag)?

No, its IE only.

They have a version that is also working in mozilla in the same manner as FTB 2. I think it's still in beta.

Here are two interesting rich text editors I've found over the past few weeks:

HTML Edit Box 2.0

This one only works with IE, but its pretty cheap ($40), and its pretty nice. The way it works is kind of interesting, the editor does not get embedded into your web application, it runs as an independent service. You simply put a textarea and a button or link on your page that uses some javascript to open the editor in a new window. When you click the editors "Save" button, it places the HTML code inside the textarea on the calling page. OH ya.....the service needs PHP to run, and that may be a problem for some folks.

There there is this guy

DotNetEdit

This is a control, only works with IE and its got a bigger price tag..but its not a bad editor. It comes with instructions how you can replace FTB in DNN if you want to do that...or you can create a new module that uses it.

I kind of like the HTML Edit Box 2.0 approach, because the editing takes place outside of your web application, and you can easily make the editor of your choice work this way too.

Hehe... php... :P

Hey Jeremy,

Do you know them? I asked them about other browsers before and the response seemed like there was no intention to support other browsers.

That in my opinion is the best editor i have seen yet. Inline styles from color pickers and the formatted colorcoded html view rock.

Yep PHP....heh

-- Off Topic :) --
I actually dig PHP..I think it smoked classic ASP, and its got great Windows support..access to COM objects and works great with IIS.

....But ASP.NET is the undisputable champ to me!

You know...one could probably easly do something like HTML Edit Textbox 2.0 that would work with all major browsers and cross platform. IF you had 4 editors, and they worked for Netscape, Mozilla, IE and Safari.....with a little browser detection you could pop open a new window and present the appropriate editor when someone wants to do some rich text editing. Then just copy the HTML code back to the calling page when done. I'm sure things would be a bit more complicatedthan this when it comes to allowing image and file uploads..but from the surface it sounds possible to do.

This coudl be a fun project, and I'd be down with helping to build something later this spring (too busy for the next couple months).

Brian,

My fault, I confused them with InteractiveTools.com who develops the free HTML Area editor. My appologies.

Their new beta version for 3.0 is developed here:
mishoo - dynarch

Great Example - please give it time to load .... then try right clicking in the edit window

Now that we have the new provider model in DNN 2.1, I am wondering if anyone has published providers for any editors besides the default???

I wrote one for the telerik Rad editor......

I myself am wondering how lonk it will take for someone to write one for the FCK editor
