Microsoft Computing: WYSIWYG HTML Editing in Internet Explorer (5.5+/Win)

How Does It Work?

It works on an IE-only (so far) property of HTML objects called the CONTENTEDITABLE property. If this property is turned on for an HTML object (

, etc.), then Internet Explorer adds all kinds of WYSIWYG and other editing features to the object that you tweak in your JavaScript code. The htmlArea uses regular HTML to display the toolbar and then uses JavaScript to manipulate the content of the text box (which it re-creates as an iframe) based on actions in the toolbar. </p> <p>The control's properties can be queried as to which text is selected, what the entire contents of a box are, and other useful information. The value of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/innerhtml.asp">innerHTML</a> property of the editor control, which contains the HTML results of the text in the editor, is mirrored to a standard hidden form variable, which of course is returned when the form is submitted. On the server, you reference it just like any other form variable containing HTML, so it works in ASP, PHP, JSP, Domino, and probably every other Web application server on the market.</p> <p>Here's <a href="http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/documentation.html#faq1">another explanation</a>. </p> <p>Suffice it to say, it just works!</p> <h2> More Goodness and the Dark Side</h2> <p><a name="Heading63"></a>Thanks to <a href="http://interactivetools.com/">interactivetools.com</a>'s generous <a href="http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/license.html">license agreement</a>, the tool is open source and modifiable, so if there's something you don't want or need in the toolbar, you can remove it. Or you can add your own buttons. The source code is well-documented, and there is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/innerhtml.asp">support forum</a> as well.</p> <p>On the down side, it does not support other browsers. Right now, it only adds WYSIWYG features to Internet Explorer 5.5 on Windows. Support for other browsers may be added in a future version, and Mozilla is ready (or nearly ready) with similar hooks for code like this, so it should work in other browsers soon. </p> <p>So, should you use it or not? It's a few hours time invested, but it takes advantage of features currently found only in Internet Explorer for Windows. Although that represents the largest slice of the browser pie, it still feels like stepping over to the dark side when you code for special browser features--especially for <i>that</i> browser. The good thing is that users of other browsers pay no direct penalty (assuming they can handle the JS code), so at least they're not locked out. To me, the features are worth the few hours of integration work it required to add it to <a href="http://bsing.com/">bsing.com</a>.</p> <p>If you do need cross-platform editing, one place to check is <a href="http://www.ektron.com/wysiwyg-editors.cfm">Ektron</a>, which makes a $99 solution that offers WYSIWYG editing in a cross-platform manner using Flash. There are a number of other Web-based HTML editors out there, including some done in Java. Do a <a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=browser+based+WYSIWYG+html+editors">Google search</a> with keywords like "browser based WYSIWYG HTML editors," and you'll find loads of them.
