TinyMCE or FCKEditor

[trbs]

i work mostly with tinymce, never made a customized plugin but the examples look pretty easy

That would be TinyMCE (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/) or FCKEditor (http://www.fckeditor.net/).

I started with FCKEditor a couple of years ago but switched to TinyMCE because there was several bugs in FCKEditor that my customers reported. I have worked with TinyMCE since, but still looking for updates to FCKEditor. I believe that they can do almost the same... I prefer TinyMCE though... for now :-D

TinyMCE is better than FCKEditor in the sense it doesn't have the annoying <br> / <p> problem when it comes to new lines.

HOWEVER -- it is a complete bit*h to get to work with ExtJS without a lot of hacking. If you are expecting to drop it straight into a TabPanel or a popup Dialog box, then think again. I gave up in the end, and ended up throwing up a new browser window and communicating with that and then closing it again.

It is a heavy (over 140 requests it generates to your server as it loads its various plugins, images and javascripts). Quite slow to initialise in a page.

I have written plugins for it and that was relatively easy. But so was FCKEditor.

On the whole, ExtJS has shown there is still room for a much better alternative to come along.

What are the integration issues of putting an editor into a tab panel? And does FCKEditor have the same issues as TinyMCE?
