Rich text (WYSIWYG) editing on the web is a difficult problem. Browser-based rich text editors to date have failed to meet users stability expectations or in other ways subtly break the seamlessness of the editing experience. The Dojo Editor widget, written by Paul Sowden and David Schontzler, provides a solution to these problems in an easy-to-integrate package.

Boris MannWorks in Safari, too -- apparently, this is from JotSpot; does this mean that rich text editors are all officially open source?

- Provide WYSIWYG, not source editing
- Users like WYSIWYG because they care about how something looks and not the
quality of HTML produced. The Dojo Editor provides What You See Is What You
Get (WYSIWYG) and not What You See Has A Semantic Meaning Which May Or May
Not Be What You Get (WYSHASMWMOMNBWYG). Therefore, filtering and reworking
HTML to meet markup cleanliness is done via hooks at save time, not
invasive and slow DOM manipulation at runtime. -
- Do not break undo
- Browsers that support Rich Text editing hook editing into the undo stack.
This means that hitting ctrl-z should work. The Dojo Editor takes
great pains to avoid doing things that break this behavior. Users trust an
editor (and the applications that use it) more if minor mistakes do not
incur disproportionate costs.
