  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.

  @vks
  The Iframe content are automatically inserted into the textarea when you submit the form.
  If you need them through javascript:

  //iframe is a global variable inside the rte and represents the
  // object
  var content = $(iframe).contents().find(“body”).html();

  The formatting is done with document.execCommand so adding

  $(‘.underline’, tb).click(function(){ formatText(iframe, ‘underline’);return false; });

  ought to work. (You’ll need too add a button as well)
