Some time ago i wanted a HTML editor for a small back-end content manager. I wanted one that worked well across all browsers. I did try HTML Area, which worked well but was IE and Moz only. Well i've just come across a flash text/html editor. It has some limitations , like the generated HTML cannot be posted (or so it seems) but you can view the generated code, as well as
Save
Load
Delete
setSize Method
Color Picker
Fixed Font Sorting
It also uses span classes instead of font classes (for true HTML output)
