Re: FN-FORUM: Online editor using css classes?

date posted 14th May 2004 15:47

htmlArea is really comprehensive and I've used it in previsou CMS's but I
cannot get it to work with CSS styles (admittedly my js is a little weak).
If I cannot use the xstandard system I will probably end up going down the
plain vanilla route - seems to me, a browser based system like this could be
a good earner given that so many developers are going down the CSS avenue,
I'd willingly pay a few quid for even a simple system - any takers?
(deadline next week! haha).
