have you looked at jquery rte's? Reditor is in beta but it seems to work in IE9 Chrome and FF. Haven't tested it in IE8 yet (your RTE works in IE9 in IE8 compatability mode so it's not a valid test).
edit: So it works in IE8 but the demo for CKEditor works in IE8 too so something you're doing breaks browser compatibility. the jquery plugin seems pretty simple to use. not sure how much work is involved in customizing the interface but it could be another option. or you could just say "f browser compatibility bc it's stupid and impossible until everyone agrees to a standard. use ff" :)
what doesn't work in chrome? i'm using chrome in linux and the editor seems to be working fine
arif - the error that's breaking it in ie8 is definitely my code.. i suspect it doesn't like my using "delete" as an array key without putting quotes around it. i'll try that now.
as for other RTE options they're ugly and not as well developed imo. i'd rather put in the effort to get my RTE of choice working in all relevant browsers
edit: anybody rockin the safari? shawn? michael? oh who am i kidding they make firefox for mac
just tested it in WinXP + IE8.. looks like it's all working correctly now. let me know if it does/doesn't work for you
Looks like it's working in Win7 IE8.
win7 chrome looks good.
win7 IE9 looks good too.
huzzah!
btw I can't move the cursor with the mouse in source mode. not sure if this is a bug with the plugin or an IE9 failure. probably the latter but I figured i'd share to see if other people are experiencing the same thing.
edit: right clicking moves the cursor haha.
