I would be more than happy to promote the editor compatibility to Safari... I just still need to find out some way to have a Mac Mini here for testing it.

I enabled the debuging menu

(type:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
in the terminal.)

in Safari 1.3 to see how it managed now that it has support for contenteditable...

set it to identify itself as Mozilla 1.1 but no luck... tryed all options.. no luck...

here is to hoping!!

I can appreciate it might be a nightmare getting it to work on Safari, however is there any chance you could change things so it doesn't render the textarea tottaly useless on Safari? Currently any site implementing FCK Editor is preventing Safari users for entering text.

The area doesn't show up at all, can you just make it give a regular textarea for Safari? 'Safari' is present in the useragent string.

You can use the ReplaceTextArea function instead. I do this anyway so anyone not using javascript or having problems with FCK can turn javascript off and enter text through the normal text area.

Well, we dropped FCKeditor and switched to TinyMCE. We have far fewer problems with it and it is more easily expandable. Plus it has supported Opera 9 for almost a year now.

We basically gave up on any of the developers of FCKeditor actually supporting Opera 9. I mean it isn't that HARD to do but I feel they just do not like Opera and exclude it on purpose.

I think anyone who wants the best crossbrowser rech editor support should just drop FCKeditor and switch to TinyMCE.

We're heavily considering switching to TinyMCE too. I wish it had support for custom forms, but I believe there's a plugin for that. Overall, their package seems to be a little more professionally managed.

I'm certainly not trying to "knock" what has been done with fckeditor. It's a nice editor, overall. Unfortunately, we've invested a lot of time into fckeditor, but the bug fixes are not happening fast enough. So, we can't upgrade the editor version in our product until it's stable, whenever that might be. I think it's because the bulk of this project load is placed in the hands of a few part-timers as is much open-source.

I just don't think it's ready for professional apps at this time, although it's probably fine for small custom sites. I do appreciate what it's allowed my company to do up to this point.
