question from total amateur /
Background: over the last several years i've searched and asked about what i can use as "web-based wysiwyg editor" / and been advised that 'fck' is the best / my need is that i've used TypePad blogging for years - and the editor is lousy and buggy and very touchy and freezes and loses input / so i need a wysiwyg editor so i can create and paste incrementally into my typepad blog pages & posts
but i do not quite understand fck-ckeditor: What i want is a "web-based wysiwyg editor" that "I" (a non-coder with trivial needs) can actually use web-based / but then i see "Download" - i will not "download" any more since i'm committed to totally web-based / so ... i've been guessing that CKE is actually a tool that website developers can put onto their own website - and it is not a tool for end-users like myself to actually be able to use as a "web-based wysiwyg editor" / but then every time i've done searches and advice-seeking all i get is reference to fck/cke / i am totally frustrated in finding a "real" "end-user" "web-based wysiwyg editor" / and CKE "says" it is just that - but then "download" ?? / since there are so many other kinds of end-user tools that are "real" "web-based" (including TypePad, etc) why is it so impossible (?) to find an "end-user web-based wysiwyg editor" ???
Ok - so what i've been doing is using the "Demo" version to create and then copy-paste into my typepad blogs - and that has worked fine [exception : the new CKEd does not work on copy-paste of hyperlinks - previously when i copy-pasted from FCKed into TypePad, the hyperlinks would work in my published blog pages/posts / BUT now all i get is some ajax (if i recall correctly) code - that does not allow the link to work)
NOW for my real question: I now have a new need for which i cannot find a solution - instead of creating content for my typepad blogs, i need to : (1) Copy an old html page (index page of one of my websites), and (2) modify it very little; so i can (3) put it on a different new site of mine (not blogs, but ftp loading).
Problem (of ignorance): I am unable to find any way to accomplish this in CKEditor (web-based demo).
What happens when i try to do this in CKE is that i get no decent 'copy' of my original html page (even when i paste from html source from that page into the source view of CKEd demo). what i get is only part of the page - no background, no images, incorrect formatting - nothing like the original page i'm trying to copy into CKEd
How can i accomplish this trivial task by means of some "real web-based method" (i cannot "download" anything) - i just want to copy one html page, make trivial change, save as a new html page, and ftp-it to my new website
thanks much for any help you might offer

Re: how to copy & modify a page
It's hard to give you an answer because it seems that you are doing everything much more complex that it is. Read this: http://alfonsoml.blogspot.com/2009/08/u ... sites.html
The options that I see for you are start using the correct program or hire someone to do some little coding for you.

Re: how to copy & modify a page
If you want to upload by FTP a file, that means that you aren't using a CMS, so you should install Kompozer to edit the file and do all the changes easily.
Basically you are trying to to hit a nail with a screwdriver, and then you are frustrated because it doesn't work as you expected.
