EditArea Reviews

I find this a great editor even in nowadays. It looks a little bit old, but still has many features and useful plugins.

As I select lines of code I get an echo and have diffilulty reading the code. As I move further into the code and select a line of code an echo image appears several lines below the line I'm trying view. How can I fix this? I'm running cPanel via a GoDaddy site. The EditArea tool running on the GoDaddy site. I'm editing php code using Chrome version 61.0.3163.100 64 bit offical build.

This is an awesome, FREE, functioning source editor. It is ALL client side JavaScript. Much easier and more universal to implement this than most any other similar controls out there. It was a pain though to figure out how to get the source version running, and this thing was all screwed up in IE9 & IE10 at first. I've provided a solution to both of these issues for you though! They won't allow me to post a URL here, so to find my solutions search for ticket #65, or in a number of responses I posted in the discussion forum regarding source code, IE9, or IE10. Since this is an open source freebie, and the posts are barely trickling in for this now, I felt compelled to help out... I wish someone had done this for me. Well, actually patch #56 did provide the heavy lifting for the IE9+ patches to begin with...

Good editor! I've been using it for a couple of years. I would, however, like to be able to configure the tab size (I usually use 2 chars) and also to configure the cursor to, for eg., a block. The very thin and dim line currently being used is sometimes hard to see, forcing one to use your mouse to re-establish the current cursor position in your text.

Very good app though it needs to run in compatibility view in IE 10 to avoid the shadows. This slows it down a bit. Also would like to see the Tabs set to 4 characters instead of 8, or have them user configurable.

Creates trouble in IE 10. It creates text shadows in IE10. Cursor randomely shakes in IE 10. Also when I try to display an edited string (from java) to the client on editarea js it some times created unusual strings like "µ__functions__µ" or "µ_END_µ"

Thanks for Editarea, it's wonderful!

no trouble to install and run, works nicely.

Good. I used it for my app BugTracker.NET

Very nice js component. Appears reliable, supports many things out of the box, and is easy to integrate, non intrusive, easy to extend. Congratulations for your work.

Cdolivet; works great. Lonestep: make empty textarea in a form, let save_callback write content into this textarea and submit the form and your PHP script can Request the content(so you have to write a bit of javascript). Mail me if you don't know how.

Cdolivet, it's really awesome! but the question is how to deliver the file content to PHP(so that PHP script can handle READ/WRITE back to server)?

Hi. Great job. I made an Yii extension based on EditArea. Here is extension: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/fileeditor/ or a live demo at http://fileeditor.binary-technology.ro/.

I'm using it at my online MSP430 compiler at www.inventortown.com. It works great! Thanks.

Very good! I use it in liveworkspace.org/ online compiler.

Fast and easy to implement. Great work

Very good although it could be better when it comes to cross browser support and more features.

Great code completion capability! I'm using it as a code editor for my browser based DotNetNuke development module http://xsltdb.codeplex.com

i like this editor, all my system based on this editor... thanks to creator.

Clean and effective. Quick to implement in any project.

The best code editor I could find. I am using it in the WordPress plugin "Shortcode exe PHP" http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/

Excellent code editor, I'm using it in my DQ project on sourceforge - http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mldq

Just the job. I'm using it in my CyberDojo sourceforge project.

Nice tool, simple to integrate! Keep on working!

a great project and exactly what was required to help complete my own tool, ecoder.
