FlashTA (FlashTextArea)

FlashTA is a WYSIWYG replacement text area for HTML forms. While there are various implementations done in javascript, most of them don´t work in this/that browser/OS combo, and every time a browser vendor makes a change, they need to update the editor so it doesn´t break on every possible combination of browsers.

FlashTA tries to overcome that problem by using flash. It also tries to adhere stricty to the XHTML specification. No presentation code is generated (so say bye bye to your idea of selecting text color, font face, etc).

FlashTA features an easy integration and multiple browser support (Mozilla, MSIE, FireFox, Opera & Safari).

SHOW ME THE DEMO!

Hmmm... demo doesn’t show anything in Safari.

AWESOME in FF!

Jeff, will it be possible to create a plugin for this in the future?

Are you sure ?

The textbox on top is empty, check the second, the screenshot is attached:

I’m 100% certain.

On second try, and after about 20 seconds... it loaded. MAN that is slow. :/

Also suffers from the put all code on one line syndrome...

Indeed it took 22 seconds on my slow (as hell) connection, but once cached, it loads faster.

Pretty interresting alternative Zi !
I wouldn’t even have considered Flash as a mean to build an RTE...

Another nice catch
Even if I am more interrested in WYM being integrated

One nice thing is this one seems to integrate a resource browser... am I wrong ?
