A Javascript RTE with identical output?

April 15, 2008 7:27 AM

Can anyone recommend a Javascript rich text editor which provides identical output across browsers?

I've tried FCKeditor and a couple of jQuery plugins. Maybe I'm missing something here, but they all seem to have different output depending on what browser is used – Safari wraps each line in a div while Firefox just uses breaks. I don't need as much functionality as FCKeditor provides, but I would like the editor to work as a jQuery plugin if possible.

Thanks!

Have you looked at TinyMCE? It's used as a rich editor on JSPWiki, and I know I've seen it crop up in other WYSIWYG editors I've used online.

Have you tried Aptana ? I believe it supports the jQuery plugin.

Just noticed the jQuery comment - TinyMCE can apparently do it with a plugin.

Given my experience using the Yahoo UI Library, I'd bet that the Yahoo Rich Text Editor might fit the bill; the YUI stuff is generally identical across browsers (in my experience, again), and even though the RTE is listed as "beta" in their toolkit, I'd give it a shot and see if it works as you want it to.
