Brilliant! "Dojo have released an open source web browser rich text editor.":http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/rich_text.html These type of What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editors enable complex text manipulation directly inside your browser. In the past I have either used "TinyMCE":http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/, or "FCKeditor.":http://www.fckeditor.net/
While these two components have served their purpose, they have had quite a few quirks and required a small amount of hacking. Worst of all, they did not provide the greatest user experience possible with bugs and performance issues. Now, Dojo a renowned open source browser toolkit have come out with their own rich text editor. While I haven't tried it I did try their demo and it looks and feels pretty good. The developers have focused on creating a reliable experience for the user which was sorely lacking from other rich text editors.
I personally think that if this component can live up to it's claims, then it may well encourage wider adoption of more immersive, standards compatible web sites.
I'll give this component a go within the next few days and update this post with how I go.
