Blogging Roller: Cross-browser Rich Text Editor (RTE) added to Roller

Cross-browser Rich Text Editor (RTE) added to Roller

I was doing some Roller testing today and I found that the old Midas-based editor for Mozilla/Firefox is broken. I searched around for docs on Midas and found out about RTE, written by Kevin Roth, an open source cross-platform WYSIWYG editor that works with recent versions of IE, Mozilla, and Firefox (sadly Safari is not supported). Instead of fixing editor-midas.jsp, I replaced it with editor-rte.jsp. So now, thanks to Mr. Roth, Roller 1.0 will include a cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. Here's a screenshot to prove it:

Try FCKEditor 2.0 RC1 (http://www.fckeditor.net/). It works on IE and Mozilla. For me, it's the best and the more powerful open source solution. It beats many commercial WYSIWYG.

The next version of Safari should support a WYSIWYG component like what IE and Mozilla. It should be out when OS X 10.4 is released early 2005.
