WYSWYG editor which DOESN'T drop performance to a crawl?

Posted by eggthing on May 18, 2008 at 1:33am

I have tried Tinymce, Fckeditor even Yahoo's YUI and a whole host of others. I'm about ready to start bawling! They ALL seem to have huge perfromance consequences. Any pointers in the right direction? I really need WYSWYG for my poetry site. http://poetryslag.com

I mean... poets need tabs and stuff. Ya know?

You can do tabs with BuEditor, it's just a matter of setting your input filter to translate tabs to html character entities (use Custom Filter module) as browsers mostly ignore excessive white space.

Thanks!
