For two years, i try to install that fckeditor from time to time, hoping they fixed compatibility issues in current version, and whenever i step into their forum to see what’s the problem, I see more people with the same problem like me, and we are all together wondering, helpless and clueless. Their support for non paying customers is horrible… or they don’t know because that app became a monster…

Thanks for the reply Kae. FCK will stay on our short list of editors (tinyMCE, FCKEditor and CuteEditor by CuteSoft).

no. I’m still using FCKeditor. It’s not ideal (to my eyes), but its stability is improving, and the developer community, while a bit acerbic in my opinion, do a very good job.

FCKeditor is a very good rich-text-editor in my opinion. I know I had trouble with it in the past, and will probably have trouble with it in the future, but I think that its benefits vastly outweigh its detriments.

I’d recommend FCKeditor. Make sure you use the latest version, as some recent versions don’t work well with Firefox 3, especially if you dynamically create FCKeditor textareas (for example, if using AJAX extensively).

Did you ever find a replacement to FCKeditor? I am curious as currently I am looking to replace FTB (free text box) and FCKeditor was one of the candidates.

May be you can try TinyMCE, for a few hours, i’ve been looking for the same solution as you did and i’m getting the result that tinymce could be better than fckeditor.

I’ve been looking into Xinha recently, and from the surface it looks pretty good. I’m not a huge Javascript coder, so I’ve not really delved into the code yet - although I probably will at some point as I’ll most likely need to write my own plugins to get it exactly as I want it. http://xinha.webfactional.com/
