Seek a jQuery-based inplace HTML editor

editor, jquery-plugins

Solution

Narrowing down your list of options: some of the better jQuery-based editors that fit at least most of your desired points seem to be:

- Jeditable -- very flexible

- WYMeditor -- popular with CMSes

- uEditor -- clean and simple, but not in-place

- IPWEditor -- uses TinyMCE or FCKeditor :(

Problem

I just stepped over to http://plugins.jquery.com/search/node/editor - lots and lots of choices - and if to judge by the dates, many new offerings. I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down the field according to these priorities... - Stability & Well-formed XHTML (might argue against some of the most recent unless they are revisions with a clear track-record) - Inplace editing - Good AJAX integration - For internal / admin / CMS usage so it can be as bloated as it needs to be long as it's easy to implement the basics: - bold - italics - indents - lists No need for tables but dropdowns that show relevent CSS selectors would be nice. Thanks.
