How can i save the result of the editting as well as the text format ? dojo.io.bind() can do all this ??

This looks wery good. Even in Safari. But, the image and link stuff does not seem to work in safari at this point. Has this been broken or is it not supposed to work?

The image function leaves alot to be desired. Just how are users to get images up to their servers in order to use them with this??

Jakman,

At the moment, Dojo is focused more on client-side work than on what happens when you reach the server. That said, we’d love to get some server-side collaboration for this and other pieces of Dojo.

interesting, although i would suspect that wysiwyg editing is better handled at a standards-based markup implementation handled natively by the browser than through js, by this i mean the text equivalent of a canvas widget.

and also note that these days lots of text editing is within non-trivial cases such as long documents, code files etc. in these cases i am much more likely to employ emacs or another platform designed specifically to deal with text. on the web i am happy dealing with the same-ol same-ol text form.

grumpY,

The web may not be perfect for all text editing needs. However, there are a lot of use cases where we can make life easy for users than a simple textarea :)

I have seen a couple of awesome CMS systems that use WYSIWYG that make updating your web pages trivial for non-technical users.

Yes exactly. Getting non-engineers to contribute anything to our internal wiki system has been like pulling teeth and resulted in little or no contributions from anyone in the company other than engineers.

Now, if we could find a wiki that gave us all the things tech people want, combined with usable wysiwyg for the lazy we’d be in heaven ;) (of course I am referring to jot.com )

When I saw “cross browser (even Safari)” I thought “cool, some nice web app that will work with Opera”…

Well no actually, it does not work :o(

(Opera 8.5 & 9 Preview 1).

guillaume,

The RichText class does indeed work on Opera 9tp1, and we’re in the process of updating the toolbar to support it. Should be another day or two at worst.
