[SOLVED] Good javascript WYSIWYG editors

[emma57573]

I've installed this editor on my website http://www.freerichtexteditor.com/ Its the best free one I could find.

It works well for inserting content into my form but the trouble is that my WYSIWYG content is being send to a mysql database. Now the first time I send the content it works fine and the info gets sent to the database no problem.

 

But I want my users to be able to edit the WYSIWYG content from time to time. When I reopen the editor to edit it just dies and cant seem to read all the code in my database.

If I go to my database and edit the field so I only have plain text. Then go back to the edit page where my WYSIWYG is and reload then it works again. So its definatly a problem with re-reading the code.

 

Is there an editor that will let me do this. I dont mind paying (a bit!) but I dont want to find the same thing happens.

 

I dont know enough about java to be able to edit it myself, I just about managed to edit out the form format functions and thas about it! I would rather just start again with one that does what I want it to do.

As of right now I can't help you, as I too am will be looking for one in the future, to eventually learn how to code one. But if I happen to stumble upon one, I'll let you know, and hopefully the same goes for me.

 

Good luck though.

a good rich text editor just transforms a textarea into an editor so you can just post the values and insert it into the database. Javascript is all clientside so this has nothing to do with mysql at all.

 

if youre looking for other rich text editors fckeditor and tinymce are nice ones

Thank you so much!

I switched to the tinymce editor. Its far easier to edit and does just what I want it to do with no fuss.

That was a great tip off. Thanks!!
