Safari support

I'm sure it will take them a while to learn Safari's quirks and develop code for the editor to work. I wouldn't expect it for a while.

I note that TinyMCE's creators are getting a Mac Mini for developing their Safari version (tinymce.moxiecode.com). In the examples on their site, the editor windows appear correctly (inline images and styling), and you can edit plain text and cut/paste in images in Safari despite there being no changes for it as yet. It seems the editor window itself should work like other browsers, but it looks like the Javascript for toolbars may need a tweak. As yet I've not seen one single demo specifically to demonstrate Safari's new abilities...

I'm looking for a Mac Mini donation so I can start working on it immediately.

If anyone is interested, just contact me directly (fredck[AT]fredck.com).

Thanks in advance.

Safari is based on the Konqueror engine. I don't currently have a linux box set up, but I would assume that the same issues you see in Safari would be seen in Konqueror.

http://www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php

I've been testing out fckeditor integration in my site, it's great, my only qualm is having to open FireFox to do any editing, it would be unbelievable if it worked in Safari

Right now if you try to open fckeditor 2.0 rc3 in a safari window nothing appears, the entire applet fails to load.

Yeah, same issue with konqueror. No documentation.

Seems clicking on buttons removes highlighting / currently selected text. execCommand is done weird or something I hear.

You can easily find a generic RTE and try stuff, if you're interested. I love the dragging in of images, etc..(safari) Although I bet it's a mac only type of deal.

We'll get there tho, no doubt. Just gotta find out more. If anyone runs accross documentation, post a link or something.

Also, FredCK is still trying to scrape up a mac mini... donations would probably help this safari indevour. However you spell endevour.

DONATE!!! Even if FredCK does nothing else, he's earned it.

Why don't you use Firefox for mac ?

On OS X, Firefox is less pleasant to use than Safari and it's visual rendering quality is nowhere near as good. Safari 1.3.9/2.0 (which finally introduces the contenteditable support that fckeditor requires, hence the rash of requests) is also noticeably faster than Firefox. While Firefox is great for development use (The CSS editor plugin is excellent), for everyday usability, give me Safari.

All this is somewhat academic as it's not just a matter of a single developer changing browsers - FCKEditor should support as many mainstream browsers as feasible.

Yeah, and check out the drag and drop functions in safari. Sweet. Dunno how portable tho.

The big problem is lack of documentation/working examples. So far, I've yet to see a 'button' based 'rich text' example.

Find one of those, and we're off. As in on. Er. Whatever.

If anyone or someone comes across either of these, feel free to post and let us know where/what/etc.

Then we'll be closer to getting a 'universal' type deal going.

Standards schmandards. Why follow when you can create.

Always remember:
you're unique
just like everyone else

Heh. Safari has nothing on FF tho. Does it have 'extensibility'? Open API/whatnot?

Freak-no. It's all black majick. =-)

Gimmi my weather in my browser at the bottom, please. Allow me to view my delicious bookmarks while yer at it.

Heh. Long pointless post. My favorite. This forum has been much to much business. Lets have a browser battle.

Speed vs. versitility... it's on like donkey kong.

Heh. Really tho, any dox/examples are way welcome.

Hell, wank it out yerself and become a super star. The whole net would applaud.

Maybe with a golf-type-clap, but still. =-)
