.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2007html editor recommendations?
I am/was using FCKeditor to allow users to submit HTML, however I am coming accross a serious bug which removes all style code blocks when a user submits html using Firefox 2.0.x . So, can anyone recommend any other html editors than can easily be used on a asp.net 2.0 website (and are free/opensource). Thanks, JJ > So, can anyone recommend any other html editors than can easily be used on > a asp.net 2.0 website (and are free/opensource). I've never needed anything other than this: http://freetextbox.com/default.aspx  Signaturehttp://www.markrae.net Hi Mark, I saw that one. I think maybe my expectations are wrong... Are these editors capable of editing a full html document with (for example) a <style> code block in the header? When I try pasting a full html document with a header (including a style block), a body, and a footer, the editors convert the whole lot to a table, ignoring and deleting the entire style block. Is it perhaps that these editors are only designed to format small chunks of HTML and won't do an entire page?

Hmm - I'll admit to not having tried to use FreeTextBox to edit an entire page, but I think if that is what you require, then maybe you need something like SharePoint... Signaturehttp://www.markrae.net I do hope there's another solution - its too late to adopt sharepoint in this case.

Exactly. You can't build a whole page with freetextbox *or* FCK. Juan T.

Firefox somehow acts completely differently. Do you know of any editors that will do the header section as well in both browsers?

IE is very lenient when it comes to ignoring superfluous html tags. Think of it this way : When you use an online editor, what you edit is meant to be embedded in an html page. If you include double html/head/body tags, would you expect a browser to honor them ? I wouldn't. Juan T.

I regularly get "script unresponsive" errors with FTB, not to mention the appalling rubbish HTML that it generates. Add to that the complete lack of any decent documentation and no support and, well, I guess there's little to recommend it! Just my 2c. I am in no way affiliated with FTB, just a frustrated developer who has wasted too much time trying to get it work.

There's no need to change it. >JJ >> Try this one : http://www.obout.com/editor_new/ >> >> Stan SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me) Hi Alan, I'd presumed the downloads were somehow time limited as the costs are listed next to each component (including the html editor). Does it say it is free to use somewhere? Thanks, JJ >>That looks like a seriously good component.

My mistake. I looked at the info about the components, and couldn't see anything about pricing. The download page didn't mention it either, so I naively assumed it was free! I hadn't seen a pricing page anywhere. Looking again I spotted one linked from the "quick links" at the top right. Shame, it looked like a good component. So, I'm also looking for a decent (X)HTML editor for ASP.NET. None of the free or cheap ones I've seen so far produce anything like decent (X)HTML, they all produce outdated junk. If you find anything, please post back. SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me) Check out Macromedia's HomeSite. I used that way back for HTML coding and now it has support of .aspx file extensions. http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ Mike 'IGotYourDotNet' http://igotyourdotnet.blogspot.com/ >I am/was using FCKeditor to allow users to submit HTML, however I am coming >accross a serious bug which removes all style code blocks when a user [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > JJ LOXWel Hey, there is what you need.
