A form based application is using multiple textarea fields which need a basic inline editor to assist with the text formatting. Some forms have oh .. say 9 or more of these textareas. I know .. I know but the client wants the forms this way
The form is loading the FCKeditor for each of these textarea fields and this is working but performance is impacted and you hear a click/click for each instance as it's loaded.
I have a few questions that I'd appreciate some insight into. The application only needs a basic set of editor features.
1) Can I strip out some un-needed functionality to improve load time. Example: is having the filebrowser in the config (not in the toolbar) effecting the load time?
2) Is there a way to compress or cache the library to improve performance.
3) Is there a way to clone a loaded instance of the editor.
I may have to look at using a single instance that gets enabled vi JS and the textarea in focus has the content copied on the fly to the FCKeditor window and back again when focus is moved.
I think there is a need for a minimal version for contact form usage and inline form textarea usage that would be very fast and could be used n-times on the same page. The current full version can be used n-times just fine as I noted. I have it working on a form that has nearly 20 textareas but it takes 15 seconds to generate the form
Great work on the Editor Team
