Fast dynamic JavaScript WYSIWYG editor

Right now I am using the TinyMCE wysiwyg editor within my projects.

However there are some disadvantages with tinyMCE:

  1. Tons of GET requests
  2. Big
  3. It is slow. I can't have a large number of TinyMCE editors at the same time. (Especially in IE)
  4. Changing the DOM position of the TinyMCE caused issues where the listeners got lost.
  5. Complicated to generate new TinyMCE editors dynamically during "runtime".
  6. Hard to control by jQuery

Is there any WYSIWYG editor you would suggest?

A big plus would be a jQuery based editor as this project works with jQuery anyway.

I'll suggest jHtmlArea, its jQuery powered and its quite fast

  • 1 image file using CSS Image sprites
  • 1 line of javascript, 1 line of CSS

I have used it in a lot of projects before and its quite good.

CKEditor is Slow!

If you need something as fast as possible, you could use http://unverse.net/Whizzywig-2011, but its ugly, so there is also something like http://aloha-editor.org/

You could try CKEditor http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor_for_jQuery (formerly FCKeditor)
