Re: Re: DHTML browsers [was Accessibility]

The problem with WYSIWYG editing with the built in browser functionality is
that neither Mozilla's Midas or IE's MSHTML produce clean code. I haven't
seen someone put together an editor that didn't make use of these
technologies while avoiding Active-X or Java. I've done a fair bit of
development with MSHTML and you can capture paste and edit events to prevent
certain things and then do a code cleanup on submit to enforce XHTML
compliance, etc.

The other option is to built a javascript-based and DOM-based editor that
trapped keyboard events and simply modified the DOM directly, which is a lot
of what you have to do with MSHTML anyways.

Here's an example of client-side HTML to XHTML conversion:
