Cross browser compatible? I think not…
Have these people never heard of Safari, Chrome or Opera?
Hi,
I’d like the speed indeed, but (and I miss it with a lot of WYSIWYG-editors) what I miss, is a possibility to upload an image from my local machine to the server and use it in the editor …
Not working on Chrome, neither on Safari… is not that cross-browser..
Why is it without Safari/Chrome support?
Got a nice chuckle out of this. I’ll stick to CKEditor for my projects.
No Safari or Chrome love… Useless!
“cross-browser WYSIWYG editor”
“openWYSIWYG does not support your browser.”
Oh, the irony.
No support for WebKit-based browsers. (my primary target platform for any private development projects) Agreed. Useless.
I’ll stick with TinyMCE, NicEdit, or possible SPAW depending on the needs of the project.
This thing sucks. It does not work on a lot of browsers and breaks on the rest. It seems it has been abandoned at least a couple of years ago.
Great collection man. WYSIWYG editors are becoming the norm for everything. It started with Microsoft Word, and even now we’ve got them installed for our custom CMS’s and such.
You guys are correct! openWYSIWYG is not cross-browser as we expected. Please take a look at the following open source WYSIWYG instead.
Xinha
FreeRichTextEditor
SPAW Editor
Wysiwym Markdown editor
Control.TextArea
NicEdit
FCKeditor
TinyMCE
The last ones are cross-browser compatible
Why does a WYSIWYG-editor for the web need a button to underline text???
