FCK Editor Alternatives

Ryan Smith picture Ryan Smith · Dec 12, 2008 · Viewed 10k times · Source

I've been using the FCK Editor for several of my client sites in the past. Recently due to some new browser security updates(I'm assuming) some of the functionality is now breaking.

I was planning on updating those sites to the most recent version, but sometimes I think the FCK is overly complex and tends to confuse my clients more than it helps them out.

What other HTML WYSIWYG (if there is such a thing) are good out there. A few of the items I really like about the FCK that I would want to keep:

  • Drop Down Styles based on CSS
  • Auto Inserted HTML templates
  • Auto Inserted HTML snippets
  • File uploader / browser

Thanks

Aloha Editor is a modern alternative to TinyMCE and CKEditor. It allows you to have common textbox style WYSIWYG Editor as replacement for textarea, but it also allows you to editing most of the DOM elements directly. This makes real WYSIWYG possible. It supports a lot a fancy new HTML5 and CSS3 functions.

Aloha Editor comes with a repository API, an autocomplete for file/images/other objects and a file/image/other object browser.
