html editor recommendations ?

JJ
I am/was using FCKeditor to allow users to submit HTML, however I am coming
accross a serious bug which removes all style code blocks when a user
submits html using Firefox 2.0.x .

So, can anyone recommend any other html editors than can easily be used on a
asp.net 2.0 website (and are free/opensource).

Thanks,

JJ

Hi Mark,

I saw that one. I think maybe my expectations are wrong...

Are these editors capable of editing a full html document with (for example)
a <stylecode block in the header?

When I try pasting a full html document with a header (including a style
block), a body, and a footer, the editors convert the whole lot to a table,
ignoring and deleting the entire style block.

Is it perhaps that these editors are only designed to format small chunks of
HTML and won't do an entire page?

Thanks in advance,
JJ

Hmm - I'll admit to not having tried to use FreeTextBox to edit an entire
page, but I think if that is what you require, then maybe you need something
like SharePoint...

Exactly. You can't build a whole page with freetextbox *or* FCK.

I do hope there's another solution - its too late to adopt sharepoint in
this case.

Actually it does work ok with FCK - but only in IE. Firefox somehow acts
completely differently.
Do you know of any editors that will do the header section as well in both
browsers?

re:

!Firefox somehow acts completely differently.

IE is very lenient when it comes to ignoring superfluous html tags.

Think of it this way :

When you use an online editor, what you edit is meant to be embedded in an html page.
If you include double html/head/body tags, would you expect a browser to honor them ?

I wouldn't.

try posting this question in an FCKeditor forum, you may have better luck
