TTW ("Through the Web") WYSIWYG Web Editors - The List

This list of WYSIWYG rich text web editors is being maintained as a general resource for developers who want to add a richer editing experience to web based applications. In order to be included, all editors must work in place in a browser window, either by replacing a textarea or by adding their own editable fragment. WYSIWYG page designers that live outside the web page are in a different category. This resource is a living document, and we always welcome comments and updates. Please let us know if you have any comments, additional information or corrections. While we list both open source and commercial editors in the tables below, we do not endorse or guarantee your results with any editor.

Note: A good deal of the material in this list came from a list originally maintained by Paul Browning which was located at http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/ttw/ttw.html. Paul Browning has asked if I could continue maintaining this list, as he no longer has the time, and is no longer connected to the University of Bristol. I greatly appreciate the time and effort that he put into collecting this information, and will continue to host it and update it.

Notes/Domino Users: While I hope this list is useful to everybody, there will also be some additional information specific to IBM Lotus Domino developers, including sample databases that have these editors integrated, and which therefore are available for anyone to copy and use, as well as an indication of those web editors which have been integrated with Genii Software's CoexEdit product, thus allowing clean use of the rich content from either the IBM Lotus Notes client or from one of these editors without significant loss of formatting or content.

- E-mail us with questions and information about other editors.

Browsers (assumed version): Firefox 1.0+, Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla 1.3+, Netscape 7.0+, Opera 6.0+, Safari

Open Source (ND = Notes/Domino, X = XHTML, T = Customizable toolbar, A = API available, : green=yes, red=no, white=not determined yet, so e-mail us if you know)
The XHTML, Toolbar and API settings are being added as time and information permits.
