Hi all,

i've been browsing the forum for the past few days to see if i could find some links to beginners wysiwyg editor but i've not found what i want so far, so i'm asking here..

I need a simple wysiwyg editor with css support.
I don't need such an editor myself as i do all my asp/php code by hand in editplus, that's also why i have so little experience with wysiwyg editors..

But this time i require one to provide my customers with a way to build their own custom static html pages..

Those static handmade pages should repesct the existing css design, so the editor would have the ability to "import" an external css stylesheet.

Of course the best choice would also be a free editor.
I've found Mozilla composer to be quite nice with basic html tags support.
unfortunately i couldn't find a way to manually import ths css file.. I added the link by hand in the code to see how it would react and it finds it alright but now i don't think there is anyway the styles can be accessed in a dropdown menu, so the users would have to input the style names manually which is quite lame..

If you know a good wysiwyg editor as basic as moz composer but with true css support, please le me know where i can find it.

Thx,

ChaosMedia

I don't want to name name's. However, can I suggest that you concerntrate you search with editors that allow you to import a template. That way, they import the template and edit the page with the content.

DMOZ is always a great resource for free software.

Welcome to Webmaster World chaosmedia,

I've just started playing around with HTML KIT.

It might just be what you are looking for......and it's free

thx both for the fast replies..

chris could you point me to a good template complatible editor? i'm not familiar with templates.. well i use mine all the time but is there a standart template format or something like that? and what are the limitations?
In my project the user can do anything he wants in his editor because the body of his html doc will be stripped when uploaded in the site admin, it's stored and inserted into one of my dynamic script.. so he should not have to be limited, in any way, to follow a precise display for his document.
Anyway i'd like to take a close look at those template systems..

As for HTML Kit i've tested it and it's not really a wysiwyg editor in my opinion, it works more in a source code / browser preview way of doing things, although it has a partial wysiwyg support..

Maybe moz composer is as good as it can get, but the "limited" CSS support is quite troublesome..
I'll try to look for other editors on DMOZ.

Thx again

Hi Chaos.

I think you miss understood me. What I suggested was looking for a wysiwyg with a template loading capability.

That way, you customer loads the template (which in turn loads the css) and edits the page. Then uploads the page (which in turn will still use the css). That should solve this issue:

Those static handmade pages should repesct the existing css design, so the editor would have the ability to "import" an external css stylesheet
