Why use TinyMC again?

[jptechnical]

I just installed HTMLArea, WOW! I like it so much better.

Why did it get replaced by TinyMC? I got involved after that change evidently.

I live the location highlighting in the bottom, makes me feel at home, I am a Dreamweaver addict for all my graphical HTML. Makes it alot easier to see what element I am in and what class is being used.

Glad it is availiable in module. btw, so far so good in .9rc3

To be honest, I dislike them both. They are a necessary evil...

I picked TinyMCE because it's smaller, makes xhtml compliant code, doesn't break when it's missing one translation file, has better support and is actively developed.

Both have perks and problems. It depends on the user on which on is better, which is why we have the modules...

Aint that the truth. I always disable the wysiwyg and manually edit it anyway... unless I am doing tables, then I copy and paste the code in an editor... they make my eyes cross.

I think the flaky way that TinyMC has handled the little edits I tried to do on a clients site as opposed to the way HTMLArea did the same thing was enough.

For instance... in TinyMC if I hit enter in a table it completely freaks out... it adds a nested table in a new row at the bottom of the table... and then makes a new row at the top. I tried it even if I made the table in TinyMC, it just wouldnt take hitting the enter key (P or BR) without killing the table.

Either way, included or module... it works for me and should work fine for my clients, it will give them a choice.

Great work!

Thanks.

TinyMCE seems to be a problem in Firefox but works OK in IE ??
CMSMS .9RC4

I get the same weirdness in Firefox as you do jptechnical but in IE it produces code like:

Code: Select all

<table height="105" width="90%" align="center" border="0"><tbody>
<tr class="" valign="top">
<td>
<p> This is the<br />
first cell with a shift enter for a br tag</p>
</td>
<td>
<p> Another cell over here</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p align="right"> paragraph right aligned</p>
</td>
<td>
<p> What does this enter key</p>
<p>Do to the format</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h4> Lets try a header in this cell</h4></td>
<td> Something else</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
