ibanez270dx Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi, How can I add formatting tools to my textarea like the ones here on PHP Freaks? You know, when you post a new thread or reply or whatever, and there are buttons above the textarea that do different things...?Thanks, - Jeff Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17995-formatting-tools-for-textarea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkBait Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You want a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor? I believe it has to do with Javascript. I don't know for sure but I've always wanted to look into it myself.

hitman6003 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 tinymce is argueably the most feature rich, however, it isn't the only one. FCKeditor (http://www.fckeditor.net/), Dojo (http://dojotoolkit.org/), Kupu (http://kupu.oscom.org/), and many others are available.Be careful using these, as many of them are VERY large (I think tinymce is about 2 MB in all), so if a lot of your users have dialup, then they will hate it. It can also eat up bandwidth quickly. Caching will help some, but not enough if you have a good number of visitors.

sivarts Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've used KTML from InterAkt online. The 4.0 version is free to download (after a account activation :-( )http://www.interaktonline.com/Downloads/Free-Products/it has worked well for smaller gigs thus far.Cheers!
