Problems with tinyMCE [#254558]

You might want to note on the project page that tinyMCE for Drupal 5 does not always play nice when using jQuery 1.2.3. In particular it does not work on user/{uid}/edit pages and I was told there are problems when editing forums.

in all honesty, tinymce is a pile and this module (well me) does not care about tinymce.

i would say its a bug for tinymce and not this module.

I am not saying it is a bug in your module, just that a warning on the project page would be nice so people have a chance to avoid the problem

I reported my experience about this kind of issue in TinyMCE module tracker.

Well, I can't identify exactly what causes it, but the error reported by Firebug is located in one of the files that is replaced during the jquery_update installation : collapse.js . Of course that does not mean it is the fault of jquery_update (which is great, and I need it for a lot of stuff) but there's still a link between. Although, disabling jquery_update and restoring the original .js files resolve the issue. Oddly, this is only happening in Firefox, other browsers (IE6, IE7 and Opera) are working just fine.

So, since the chances of this getting fixed are slim (knowing you're not interested in supporting TinyMCE), which alternative would you recommand to TinyMCE ? I'm really not a fan of FCKEditor, which has less browser support and some nasty behavior when you try to produce code that attempts to comply at least with XHTML Transitionnal. I know the WYSIWYG comparison page

which is a great summary but maybe you got some recommandations of an editor that will "always" work with jquery_update.
In advance, thanks.
