FreeTextBox 2.0 - now cross browser compatible!

This is so fantastic, I just read this on Colt Kwong's blog - FreeTextBox - which is just the best WYSIWYG editor for use in ASP.NET has just begun to support other browsers than IE. This is a really big step, for many web projects (which specify support of Mozilla browsers) this makes it possible to provide this type of functionality to all users - just remember to validate their input!

UPDATE: Just noticed one thing, the source code is no longer included, you can buy it for $50 which is reasonable...but worth noting!

Here's what Colt wrote...

FreeTextBox 2.0 Released

FreeTextBox 2.0 has been released. The most obvious new feature is support for non-IE browsers, which means, I should soon be able to edit this blog using FireFox :)

  • English, Spanish and Chinese are supported
  • Projects Using FreeTextBox: ASP.NET Forums, .Text, DNN, Rainbow...
  • Cross-browser support (Mozilla 1.3+, PC/IE 5+)
  • Button/DropDown feedback
  • Localization (create your own language files)
  • Inline toolbar customization
  • Back button support in IE
  • Office 2003 Style
  • External JavaScript
  • Completely recoded as a development platform

Personally, I use FTB in various Web apps lately, which is definitely a GREAT work! Thanks John.

Interestingly, when I actually went to buy the source code yesterday, the site said "Coming Soon!"

I have been using the previous version, and have tested the 2.0 version, and would happily pay for the source to the new one, if only I could<g>.
