Usually WYSIWYG editors are developped and integrated as part of the web applications itself, adding them in the browser is a great new opportunity for developpers and users and Xinha Here! give this chance by wrapping the Xinha HTML editor in Firefox.
Xinha Here! is a wrapper for the Xinha HTML editor that enables WYSIWYG editing in any html textarea and text input elements. Xinha Here! opens Xinha editor on the client side. This allows you to edit the fields data in a WYSIWYG on any website without coping and pasting to secondary editor. To use Xinha Here! simply select Xinha Here! from the context menu of the desired text area or text input element. Up will pop a Xinha WYSIWYG HTML editor. Press OK and the raw HTML is pushed back to the original text box. Simple as that.
Because the Xinha editor is installed on your local machine rather then a server it is both portable (use it on any website) and faster (files don’t need to be transfered over the net). This extension goes great with the SpellBound spell checker extension. You can use it on any website allowing html in comments for examples, auctions websites such ebay, stormpay … etc.
Integrating the WYSIWYG editors in the browser itself would be really a great option, I never hear about Xinha editor before, but I was using tinymce. Maybe for the future the mozilla developers would be interested to add their own integrated wysiwyg in firefox as a part of the browser that developers can use directly by calling a special tag. Small change on html anyone ?
