Basic FCK Editor wrapper for Community Server 2.0

I'm testing the FCK editor [1] wrapper for CS 2.0 [2] with this post.FCK editor is a webbased XHTML editor unlike other xhtml editors such as XStandard [3] doesn't use an activeX control. I was surpried as to how easy it was to get the basic functionality working within the wrapper. CS 2.0 is very cool. I've still to work out how to get the image browser to work with the CS files section so I'll probable work on that next Sunday night. You can download the wrapper from the files section [4]

This is just a basic wrapper and probably shouldn't be used just jet as I've still to add support for preview and it doesn't seem to work properly in firefox but for NIMTUG members who want to test out the FCK editor for posting go to http://nimtug.org/user/EditProfile.aspx and under the "Site Options" tab selected it from the "Content Editor" dropdown.

I used to use FreeTextBox 3.x (a ASP.net HTML editor component) for liitle projects and admin functions, but I stumbled across FCKEditor August last year when I was trawling the web for a collegue that needed a HTML editor for an Oracle/Java application. It really did a good job for them and made their application IMHO.

I'd seen it a while back but only actually started playing around with it recently and I'm very impressed with the builtin file/image browser and configurable spell checker not to mention the clean xhtml it outputs.
