I’ve had occasion to look into what kinds of rich text editors are availble out there, and I thought I’d use this as a place to record the results, for myself, for you, and for posterity.
Basically I am looking for a Rich Text Editor that can be embedded in a browser based application. Here are the requirements:

– Needs to run cross platform (IE, Mozilla, Safari)
– Doesn’t need to be hugely featureful
– The less of a download the better
– Avoid stepping into a cross platform testing quagmire

So far, here’s what I’ve come up with:

This onelooks nice, is lightweight and sufficiently functional.

This one is much heavier weight, and is very functional

I will post more results of my research as I continue. If you know of any that I should take a look at, please drop me a line or post a comment.
