ie plugin for ff

August 24th, 2006 by nrhinela

I haven’t tried this yet…but looks interesting given our internal tendancy toward FF. And our users’ tendency for IE.

This was in a cnet newsletters. Do not know if everyone knows about it. It’s a firefox extension that converts the renderer to IE. Probably some active x call..

javascript wysiwyg editors

August 15th, 2006 by nrhinela

Question..if we were to standardize on a textarea replacement editor…which one would you use?

I have tried a couple on side projects, eventually I picked FCKeditor (yes, funny name). I looked at jot’s editor but couldn’t get it to work, though I wasn’t very persistent. I also couldn’t do much with Wordpress’s, though it also seems to work well.
Question 2: as we try to remove markup from the data, is there a place for textarea fields with markup? Or is it a sign of a bad design if users are entering in markup?
