Ah, again the reinvention of wheel. Notice the absense of even basic means of uploading and inserting an image from one’s computer.
such a pitty to make this kind of remarks, just pass your way if not interested
i’m sure many people are interested in a little WYSIWYG editor based on jQuery, and just handling what is needed and super fast
image and file handling most often are for different reasons anyway totally or partially taken out of the editor
imho
here is it goes, another alternative rich text editor thanks for sharing
