Re: [Slashcode-general] Web Based WYSIWYG

[Jim F. <hea...@ya...>]

I'm not worried about text browsers; I personally use Lynx for SEO analyzing, but that's about it. I've got a different kind of site, if you don't get the visuals/videos etc, then you wouldn't be on my site anyway. As long as I cover Firefox and IE, that's all I'm worried about.
   
  You can set up the FCKEditor to have limited options instead of all of them so users can't make a total mess of what they type. If an HTML tag is missed every once in a while, I can live with that and correct it on my own.
   
  I get the geek angle, and it works for SlashDot because of the audience, but in my case I'm just going to get a lot of confused sheep.

Might be nice, depending on your needs. But slash evidently has a post
validation that strips out lots of HTML as well as character entities,
so unless that is easily customized, supporting an HTML editor is a
waste. (One wouldn't have to limit posts to certain tags if there were
a generalized way to make sure the post was a valid fragment, i.e.
opened tags were closed, etc. One assumes the allowed tag selection -
mostly phrase level markup - was chosen so that it couldn't screw up
slash's page layout if an element was left unclosed.) And what about
text browsers? Mustn't forget the lowest common denominator. I've
posted to slashdot from lynx before.
