Best/Easiest to integrate WYSIWYG editor?

**Sneakyheathen** · 05-05-2008, 11:27 PM

I currently use nicedit (http://www.nicedit.com) for my blog system, however, it's pretty limited. Has anyone found one that's particularly easy to understand and is pretty extensible?

I'm a big fan of TinyMCE. They have good support for a number of browsers and they're constantly working on it. I also like the fact that writing a plugin is an absolute snap if you have any working knowledge of JavaScript.

I'd second TinyMCE. If you want to look at other options, though, check this out.

I might, for future versions, but I don't know anything about javascript, and I don't want to mess everything up when it's barely stable.

hmmmm, this is a case where you should focus on fixing the 'barely stable' part before worrying about candy.
