A Lightweight Rich Text Editor in jQuery
November 13th, 2007
As excellent as Xinha, YUI RTE, Tiny MCE, FCK & the other heavyweight Rich Text Widgets are, they can be massive overkill for many projects Weighing in at only 7k (uncompressed). This jQuery Editor is an incredibly light weight and responsive alternative to the big guns for most projects.
Features:
- Stylesheet based formatting
- Image support
- Link Support
- Strong, emphasis
- Bulleted list
- Source view
Supported Browsers
- IE6+
- Safari 3+
- Firefox
- Opera

link support doesn’t work with IE & FF

It worked for me in both IE 7 & FF 2 on Mac & PC.
It does use a pop-up however. Could a blocker be causing problems for you?

Looks great! Just getting into jQuery and been looking for something lightweight like this.
Does it work with plugins like jEditable or any other editInPlace plugin?

Not very well in my experience. I’ve been trying to get an edit in place plugin to work with an RTE for some time. There are numerous issues that spring up. Especially related to the way they use iframes and dom creation.
