Do you think it is worth to spend more efforts on my script?

Hi,

Only today 8O i heard about designMode functionality of browsers...something that lets you edit and format html document in-place in realtime.
...And then i found this free rich text editor script that uses this functionality...
http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm

The thing is that i have been working on "similar" script for a few days...
only that my script is being written from scratch...from cursor movement trough text selection and formating and it works directly with document nodes and elements...

i already finished all basic core functionality....like cursor movement, typing,selection,insertion of text,links(<a>),paragraphs(<div>),images(<img>) and styling of their css attributes...
I made it work on mozilla(firefox 1.0.6) and ie 6....


Do you think it is worth to spend more time and efforts on my script?

Depends entirely on your needs. If you need a completly customized RTE, then you should continue yours. If you are just looking for a working solution, I recommend using something prebuilt. I am not overly familiar with designMode, but I believe that what you want is pretty well done RTE, and if that is the case I suggest FCKeditor. Being an opensource product you should be able to contribute to them anything your script may have that they don't. Or you can merge or whatever you want - the beauty of FOSS.

If you have very specific needs, you probably want to write your own or edit theres, it is really your call from your requirements.

I think you should continue with your project. There is always room for alternatives. There should always be alternatives, monopoly is good only as game.

Not if you place a hotel on any property bought, for free.

Its a crazy-fast houserule version of the game I played once. Lemme tell you.. properties get bought fast, and people go broke faster.
