Hey Dave,

it looks nice already, but why don't you use Robert's (Locke) widget? It doesn't work with IE though, but is already very advanced...

BTW Robert, is it easy to integrate it into an oacs package? And is the code in the public domain?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.  The WYSIWYG editor I use only works with IE5+ unfortunately.  I just saw the HTMLArea demo at http://dynarch.com/htmlarea/ and that appears to hold the most promise since it's free, feature-rich, etc.

I would be more than willing to share the code, though it would need to be cleaned up.  You can see it and our CMS in action at:

There's a simple Tcl API for creating the wysiwyg widget.  It's also integrated with acs-templating so it can be created as easily as any other widget.  Though this did require a few code changes relating to the widget's need for a specialized submit button.
