I am looking to incorporate a wysiwyg editor for one of my schools sites. I found htmlarea and tinymce, and a few others. The free ones do not seem to work on the MAC plattform. Does anybody know which one moodle uses? or did the programmers write their own?
Sincerely,
Mike
If I correctly recall, Moodle embeds a custom version of HTMLarea.
So it is not available for others to use? HTMLarea does not seem to work on MAC's. The current beta release is supposed to, but I cant find a downloadable version of it.
Thanks anyway.

The HTML editor works on Firefox (and I assume Mozilla) for Mac OS X. I'm not sure if Mozilla for OS 9 will work.
Internet Explorer 5.2 and the latest release of Safari don't support any of the standard HTML editing widgets, though apparently the version of Safari included with the next version of OS X (codename Tiger and due out by the middle of the year) will support them.
Basically the HTMLArea editor is same as HTMLArea 3 Beta RC1.
There are special funtionality that we're done for our selfs (+ bug fixes), but all the code is available in CVS (since its Open Source and HTMLArea it self is BSD lisenced).
You can find HTMLArea at http://www.htmlarea.com/

Hi there,
I have just noticed several crashes of my Firefox 1.0 trying to render HTMLArea editor. Does anyone else have similar experience?

I am also working with Firefox 1.0 and it never crashes, strange...
How does it crash exactly? With which Moodle version?

Firefox tends to freeze in the moment when HTMLArea is downloading AND I'm scrolling the window by mouse wheel at the same time. The only way is to kill all firefox processes and start it up again. I don't have TAB extension installed.

Firefox crashes: TabBrowser Extensions is a most likely suspect
by John Papaioannou -
If you are using TabBrowser Extensions (TBE), then that may be the cause of the crashes. The Firefox dev team say so themselves, and I can confirm it.
I was using TBE and Firefox seemed a lot less stable to me than IE. It has not crashed once from the moment I uninstalled that extension. If you want something similar (the functionality is very useful), get TabMix.
Or ignore me if you are not using TBE.

I had the same problem, Joyce too I remember.

I must say I didn't notice it anymore for quite some time. May be it has to do with enabling caching again in firefox.

I'm joining this converstion fairly late, but there is a new WYSIWYG editor in town that shows some real promise. Check it out here: widgEditor.
Looks to be a bit too light on functions. I think that images, font colour and font size are a must.
