Tiny Content is a fantastic module, the only thing that is missing is a WYSIWYG edit for Mozilla based browsers. Why it works only with IE ?

I believe that the WYSIWYG editor used by TinyContent is SPAW, which relies on IE-dependant commands. I don't know that anyone has developed an open-source WYSIWYG editor that works cross-browser.

I used the SPAW Editor because it is also used in WF-Sections. This Editor is very feature-rich too.

At the moment the XOOPS team is searching for a cross-browser solution. Untill that, TinyContent will probably stay as it is.

Do let us know if you find a good cross-browser editor.

I have somewhat successfully converted FCKEditor to an XoopsForm class, but with limited functionality and it didn't support my Mozilla.
It doesn't have to be Word-like functionality, but a bit more than the normal DHTML area with WYSIWYG and cross-browser functionality and we are all set

I've been looking at htmlarea3 and it does look pretty good. It doesn't support "all" browsers, but at least it is cross-platfarm so that everyone would at least have the ability to run it, even if not on their favorite browser. As a Linux user, I know that this would be great for me.

If nobody else takes this on, maybe I can try to hack it into one of the modules that currently uses spaw to see how it works.
