Availability
The FCKEditor is one of the Professional suite Extended controls, which means it is free and available in all Visual WebGui versions.
CKEditor as successor
Active development for FCKEditor has been stopped by it's authors.
We have now made it's successor, CKEditor, available as a Visual WebGUI control.
Limitations and workarounds
Error free transfer of contents means extra overhead
On rare occasions, the traditional method of transfering the edited Html content back and forth between the client and the server will fail. This will happen if the edited Html content includes patterns that do not go well with Xml. In order to guarantee error free delivery, some coding of the contents is needed to encapsulate those patterns.
We have made a customized version of FCKEditor available that will use base64 encoding of data between the server and the client. You can download it here.
This guaranteed delivery does come with a price though, as base64 encoded text means increased number of bytes that need to be transfered. In most cases, this should not be a concern, but on very slow connections with huge amounts of data, this could well become a factor.
