iPad compatible HTML Wysiwyg editor

Question

Are there any iPad compatible wysiwyg HTML editors?

Edit: What I'm looking for is something that would work on a web app, not a native iPad app.

Solution 1

I think that the GDocs editor might work, but keep in mind that there's almost no editor like that, they are managing everything by themselves.

The rest of editors try to use contentEditable, and Apple itself warns against using it with the iPad: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2010/tn2262/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40009577-CH1-DontLinkElementID_7

Solution 2

I would advise you to use NicEditor which has an option of using content editable divs rather than iframe(has some issues in ipad)

For those people who are coming to this from Google Search: As of 13 Sep 2011, CKEditor Version 3.6.2 Seems to support iPad with iOS 5. More details here: ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor_3.6.2_released

Thanks for your answer. I'm looking for a web editor, not a native iPad app.

I edited my answer...but Dreamweaver, Flux, Adobe Creative Suite, etc. are decent web editors. Here are the open source editors: ckeditor.com and kompozer.net

-1. You're still not getting it. ckeditor is along the lines of what we're looking for, but it's not iPad compatible, hence the question.

Now that iOS5 has been released you can use (or at least try, usability is the new question) the existing editors like CKEditor.

As I mentioned in December, iOS 5 allows the usage of WYSIWYG editors, and it has been supported in CKEditor since 3.6.2 ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor_3.6.2_released Of course that support is far from perfect and there are several glitches, including the fact that typing long contents on a phone screen can be a very hard task.

You are correct. Our team just tested the most recent version of Telerik RadEditor on iOS5 and it works like a charm. Thanks!
