Features

A cross-browser, cross-platform WYSIWYG Editor

Following 9 year old tradition of industry #1 cross-browser support, Rich Text Editor for Classic ASP continues to offer even better quality and compatibility by supporting all major browsers: IE 6.0+, Firefox 2.0+, Mozilla 1.3+, Safari (1.3+), Opera 9.0, IE 10 and Chrome.

Generates clean XHTML. Compliant with the web standards, no deprecated tags

Most WYSIWYG editors are just JavaScript wrappers around the editing control built into browsers such as the MSHTML control found in IE. These types of editor (which generate HTML and then run code clean-up routines against it) have significant limitations. By contrast, Rich Text Editor for Classic ASP is built from the ground up to be a true XHTML editor in its own right.

Extremely small and fast

Most feature-rich WYSIWYG editors suffer long loading times due to large javascript files. Rich Text Editor for Classic ASP only loads the necessaery scripts to client browsers. Numerous optimization methods have been applied. It's clean, compact, extremely fast-loading, but still powerful and efficient.

Insert clean HTML from Microsoft Word

When text is pasted from Microsoft Word a lot of unnecessary word specific markup is carried across. This can result in web pages that take an unnecessarily long time to download. The Paste from Word button solves this by removing word markup before pasting the text into your web page.

Advanced file upload function

We integrate a hi-performance ASP upload component - ASP uploader into Cute Editor. ASP Uploader allows you to select and upload multiple files at once. It also supports client side validation of the file size/type before uploading.

Format Painter

The Format Painter takes the formatting from one piece of text and pastes it onto content you select. This is handy when you have a combination of formats on something, like a size, color and style, and want to apply them to another item, without having to apply them individually.
