There is no set date to create the GUI for the Editor any time soon, it will likely be a Gallery module if one were to be created.

I can't speak for the Y Mail team or their ability to open source the toolbar.

There should be no difficulty with "cross-browser safe execCommand" that's what EditorBase handles. If there is an issue there, then that's a bug. But the GUI absolutely should not be doing that. That's the point of the separation, Editor-Base should do all the heavy lifting while the GUI just makes it pretty.

As for the focus issue, the trick is to execute a fake command first (like wrap) and hold the output of that command. Then open your panel and do your thing, but execute it on the wrapped elements from the first execution.

Feel free to send me any questions you have, I'm always more than happy to help

Marco, I just check with Yahoo mail, it actually uses the rich text editor widget with YUI 3.2.0.
About building the editor widget yourself, can you please share your idea, although it's in progress.
If there is no such plan for an official editor, we have no way but build our own and share in the gallery.

Hi Dav,

Could you help me out of this:

I'm trying to manipulate the text by using the EditorSelection class.


But when the cursor is placed somewhere in the text, I see the following happen:

editorSelection.getCursor() --> is empty
editorSelection.setCursor(); --> will create the cursor's placeholder at start of the text (not at the cursor's position
editorSelection.insertContent(); --> will insert the text at the start of the text (not at the cursor's position

That is in firefox. In Safari totaly nothing happens…

Am I using/defining the EditorSelection class in a wrong way?

Thangs in advance,

Marco
