HTML Editor for ASP.NET AJAX
For our soon-to-be-beta’d new web application, we had a requirement for a rich-text-style editor that would sit nicely within our ASP.NET / AJAX website. I looked at a few, but on the whole getting them to work with ASP.NET was non-trivial. In the end, I went for the Winthusiam Html Editor, and I can definitely recommend it.
Here it is running in our application, slightly customized:
It drops into your page or control exactly like any other – just <%@ Register it and away you go. It comes with a nice demo page, plus an article explaining how it was written. It’s got twiddlable options in a list as long as your arm, supports XHTML output, and comes with source.
Not convinced yet? Then how about the fact that it comes in both free and pro versions, so you can get started without needing to pay? Also, the support is excellent – I found a little bug (a Firefox 3-only one), reported it on a Saturday, and received an email back the next day with a fix in. Fantastic!
(PS: I’m not affiliated with Winthusiasm in any way – just a happy user).
Hi.
I’ve just seen your ‘HTML Editor for ASP.NET AJAX’ entry, and I wonder if I could beg your assistance in telling me how you got rid of the ‘Design’ and ‘HTML’ tabs that normally reside on the base of the control?
I want to add the control to an email editor on my personal website but I just can’t figure out how you did the modification.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, im doing a project whereby i need to validate the HTML Editor using JQuery.
For example, when the user did not type anything inside the editor, its will prompt the user to write something.
do you know of any JQuery plugin that can be used to validate the HTML Editor and some tutorials so that i can understand the logic.
the html editor that im using is winthusiasm.
Thank you
