Starting out with RTE and Javascript


I'm somewhat new to Javascript, not HTML/CSS or PHP/MySQL, just JS. I have a quick question. If I were to try to make my own RTE Text editor for a system that I'm building, does anyone know where I would start out? Books, tutorials, whatever is fine. Thanks.


Solution

  • Don't re-invent the wheel.

    Building a rich-text editor is a lot of work, and making it work in most browsers is even more work.

    Instead, you should go with an existing option, such as CKEditor or TinyMCE.

    If you want a learning exercise, I recommend starting with something simpler.
