Good WYSIWYG extension for CF?

    In the past we have used ActivEdit as a WYSIWYG tool for our client to update parts of their ColdFusion site that we have built.

    With recent updates to IE and Firefox, some features have stopped working, specifically hyperlinks and image insertion. Emails to ActivEdit support have not been responded to, so we are in a position where we need to explore other options.

    Does anyone know of a good, affordable WYSIWYG extension that will fill our needs? Thanks in advance!

    We use FCKEditor as well.. There have been a few reported problems with hyperlinking in newer browsers. Upgrade to CF8 and the FCKeditor is built in.

    Thanks so much for all the input. Sounds like FCKEditor is the way to go. With it built into 8, we'll be in good shape!

    Clients/customers pasting from Word is always a joy :) I get an average of one support email per week on that one...

    Yeah that's fun huh? Just make sure you write a support doc on it or throw up a youtube.com video for it and tell them how to do it correctly.
