WYSIWYG Mozilla/XUL editing - possible?

Well, I am sure it is possible - just need some insight from you guys.

With the CPS I am working on, I need to somehow integrate a WYSIWYG editor within the architecture. Has anyone came across any Mozilla/XUL package for this? If so, can you post a link.....

Thanks

Ok, I have two options....

Option 1: Integrate composer into my client side application. The only downfall to this is that there are way to many functions with the composer package; to much power for what I am doing is what this option boils down too...

Option 2: Create my own editor. This is the best option as I can just add the features I need within the app. The only thing here is I need to figure out how to open, within the editor, the page template and lock all tables within the document - letting the only edible region be the content area that the user will type in to add the data (news articles, training manuals, etc.) and images if needed.

Any recommendations would be greatly, greatly appreciated....

http://composite.mozdev.org/ is a good place to start.

Thanks rycamor - I downloaded that earlier and checked it out. I am planning on checking out the source code to get a feel for it for a starting place....

Just use www.bitfluxeditor.org, this is a fully functional XML (takes any schema, could that be cooler?) wysiwyg editor for Mozilla I also have an editor that works in IE, and some time plan on having a look at helping the bitflux guys make their solution work in IE.

Let me know what you think

Sorry that link doesn't have the "," in it

Excellent, I will check it out....

I actually have a standalone Moz/XUL editor now, just trying to figure out how to lock regions within the loaded document to allow no editing in that region......

Well definately check out bitflux, because it is an XML editor rather than just HTML, so this makes it very powerful

Out of interest which is the other MoZ Editor you are using?

Thanks, Z.

Are you going to hold out on me? The shame of it

Thanx, Z.

Btw, I didn't mean shame on you , rather that I was feeling rejected and dispondent for getting no response

Oh, i'm sorry zitan - wow, you have posted 3 times since I last replied. I am checking out the bitflux. I will post back soon....

No real problem, I'm just having a sulk today, it has been a rough week

I was just interested in checking out the editor you are using. Bitflux was the best I had found to date, but I'm still interested in other editors, particularly one that is simplier

Awesome and thanx, Z.

So can I ask what the moz editor you are using is ??

Is it open source (like bitflux) or hidden away in secret from the world

Z.

Oh man, Zitan - i am sorry - I meant to get back to your previous posts, just been real busy lately. I am using a beefed up and totally modified version of Composer. Now, once I get the editable and non-editable region dilema solved and create the security permissions, I can generate templates from the remote database, edit them on the client side machine, and publish at a later time for viewing on the intranet or internet (all just a small part of the package). Pretty slick ey......

EDIT:::
Forgot to mention. This is being run as a client side application. When the editor starts up, it will query the remote DB and create a gui drop down with all the available templates (html email template, articles template, etc., etc.). Once the template is selected, it is downloaded for storage on the clients machine (background process) and loaded into the editor for editing. Once the content is added to the template, the user can click the publish button to perform the action - weather being email to user list, publish on web site, intranet, PDF for download, etc., etc..

EDIT AGAIN:::
Will be on irc (DevChannel) tonite if you have any questions about it Zitan...
