htmlArea 3.0

Have anyone of you checked out htmlArea 3.0 beta ?

This is really amazing. The server-side operations like spell check are in perl though.

Hi Anjanesh,

A couple of months ago I started to work with htmlarea 3. It's indeed a great tool.

Although it also can give you a big headache, like seeing the difference in output between internet explorer and mozilla :-(

And then I haven't mentioned the word cleaning function, it sometimes works too good :-)

I can certainly recommend the dynamiccss plugin for it as well.

Overall it's a very great tool and can only get better.

That also leads to more work when you go to validate the HTML. I'm undecided about using it. But like Jolly said can only get better.

Hi Buddha,

In one way I have to agree with you on that. It is indeed harder to validate two different html formats.

But what I'm trying to accomplish is that IE and Mozilla will give me the same result. Haven't succeeded completely yet though, but at least the <P> tags are the same now :-) (Mozilla defaults to <BR> and IE to <P>&nbsp;</P>, I've made them both <P><BR></P> now, just a matter of getting the best from both I guess :P )

I can only recommend an html editor when you've got enough spare time or a boss with a very big lot of patience ;-)
