Because he said it isn't?

I won't stand for that, two boxes on his first post and he was only trying to help. Say sorry to LazyPenguin. Everyone, say sorry.

[QUOTE=Qombat;25825224]Posts like these are the reason we need a "Shut up" rating.[/QUOTE] I believe you mean friendly and really this thread is over. He needs to be very proficient in Javascript which by the way he lists languages like he lists what he ate for dinner last night doesn't seem that likely. He is also stubborn and his project probably has a deadline. Which coding his own WYSWYG is not going to meet.

It was a pointless post, defending an imbecilic post by another user. The amount of people who think jQuery != Javascript is painful.

How did his post imply that jQuery isn't Javascript? He suggested Javascript then a good framework, jQuery. Learn to read.

Zing works but I still think we need a "Told" rating.

This thread is going great.... Anyhow, use a combination of textareas/iframes. I'll warn you in advance though...wysiwygs are a bitch. You could cheat and use google's open source wysiwyg format.

Jaybuz you're very liberal with those ratings...

[QUOTE=CountNoobula;25805145]ok, ill make it short, I am needing to create a small wyswyg system, but am not sure where to start, mainly due to the fact that I specialise in server side development. Anyway, could you lend a fellow fp'r a hand and lead him in the right direction please. Thanks [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] PS: please don't ask why i dont just go use one thats already made like tce or fck. because trust me, i would if i could...[/QUOTE] Are you trying to change a text area field into a WYSIWYG? because there are tons of free javascript programmed ones.

[QUOTE=nivek;25885370]Jaybuz you're very liberal with those ratings...[/QUOTE] He has so many boxes from everybody else, he's sharing them.

Why not use flash? Would make it so much easier. If not, I would use a combo of HTML5 and AJAX.

[QUOTE=nivek;25885370]Jaybuz you're very liberal with those ratings...[/QUOTE] You didn't post a single piece of useful information. It seems like you only came in here to correct people [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=SataniX;25889782]Why not use flash? Would make it so much easier.

[QUOTE=Qombat;25882011]Has nobody heard of Javascript or AJAX these days?[/QUOTE] You are a moron if this was meant to chastise me for saying iframes (if not ignore this). Along with the people that rated me boxes. You guys have obviously not checked the source code to the majority of javascript wysiwyg editors. Most of them use iframes for the editor's textarea. Basically they make it behave like a text area and then bind keystrokes to a function that updates the content of the iframe. By using an iframe they prevent HTML in the wysiwyg from interfering with the page that they editor is on. Some of the newer ones (including google's I believe) use scrollable divs but the vast majority are iframes. Also, wtf is with all you people bringing up AJAX like it's some kind of web 2.0 buzzword...oh wait... AJAX refers to client/server communication on the fly...none of which is happening in a wysiwyg unless you are continuously saving the content of the editor which for most cases is not needed. /zing

[editline]6th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=SataniX;25889782]Why not use flash? Would make it so much easier.

[QUOTE=jaybuz;25892727]Why would you ever use flash? Ajax all the way.[/QUOTE] Why would you say AJAX as though it is at all a replacement for flash? That's like saying that you want to use oranges to make an apple pie... [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] And yeah, using flash for this would be dumb.
