Simple, lightweight WYSIWYG editor for classic ASP

tobzzz · 2011-11-04T17:08:34Z

Hi Experts, I've been using FCKeditor for years now as a WYSIWYG. What I'd like is one that looks a little more modern, that's lightweight and supported cross-browser and that is straightforward to implement with classic ASP. I've done some 'Googling' but haven't found anything good - has anyone out there got a good one? Ideally a free one but if anyone really raves about one that a few £ $ then I'd consider it. Thanks!

Sorry - I must be brain dead this afternoon - that first one isn't what I thought it was.

The web designers we use say they don't know of any good free tools for classic ASP editing.
The cutesoft one is their corporate standard.

There is a very good programmable editor for writing source code which is called Crisp - but that isn't cheap either!

tinyMCE looks powerful but doesn't look dissimilar to FCKeditor I currently have - though FCKeditor is quite file heavy, is tinyMCE quite lightweight?

The other I've found and like is Nicedit: http://nicedit.com/ ... looks lightweight and interface is quite nice looking. Has anyone used this to comment?

Thanks all

TinyMCE with basic features consumes 272kb. If you enable compression, then it's 50% of it's size. It's the most popular WYSIWYG editor at the moment. And it's completely free.

You can customize your bundle as well: http://www.tinymce.com/download/custom_package.php

Thanks to everyone for your help/contributions/advice. After testing a LOT of editors including the ones suggested above that are free I settled on TinyMCE.

Thanks and Happy 2012
