A new simple, standards-compliant HTML editor
The Man in Blue writes:
There's quite a few HTML-based HTML editors out there, but they all lack something. Most of them are fairly code obtrusive - requiring you to carve out a hefty chunk of HTML/JavaScript in order to get them to display - or the outputted code is hardly standards compliant.
So, in steps Cameron's contender: widgEditor.

Very handy. Personally, my favorite of all HTML editors is HTML Kit, which helps out TONS with basic web design, etc. But I like widgEditor -- very simple.

He seems to be on a good start. Still many bugs to fix, but hopefully this will be the only one really standard compliant editor.
Many other editors claim to be standard compliant, but then they use things like <span class="header1">This is my header</span> instread of <h1>'s. Yes, tinyMCE, i am looking at you!

Interesting. Will definitely have to look at this. FYI, I've found xstandard to be a great editor. It's completely produces very clean, semantic markup and has some nice abilities to handle accessibility issues. The one drawback is that it is activeX based, and, alas, only runs on Windows.
