[Rails-spinoffs] Scriptaculous and Prototype based Rich Text Editor

[Pelle Braendgaard]

Hi Guys,
I'm currently using the Dojo Rich text editor on my site
https://wideword.net but am not 100% happy with it as I'm a prototype
kind of guy.

So I started writing this Rich Text Editor the other day on an
experiment. I used the In Place Editor as a template for it and have
gotten it to more or less work under IE and Gecko. Unfortunately it
still isn't working on Safari ( The commands to be specific. I think I
know why).

It would be real easy to create rails helper functions for this, like
there already is for the In place editor.

It is missing a clean up by a real prototype/scriptaculous expert and
as mentioned safari support. I was planning on using the fantastic
silk icons, which seem to support all the required icons. However I'm
not quite sure the correct way to package icons with a scriptaculous
widget.

Anyway while I am planning on moving on with this, it is unfortunately
low priority on a very full plate and I'm off on Vacation for a week
or so. I figured that maybe someone would like to play with and work
on it over christmas.

I've included a simple test html page (Ajax support was left more or
less as is from the Inplace Editor, but I haven't tested it) and the
javascript. If brought into scriptaculous it would propably make sense
to include it in controls.js.

Feel free to do whatever you want with it within the same license as
scriptaculous. I'll happily let some one else take over it entirely or
work together with someone as well when I get back in January. You can
ask me questions, but I might not be able to respond to them before
January, but then again I might.

Merry christmas
Pelle
