Replacement Content Editors

I mentioned before about looking at other content editors for SharePoint 2007. Well, it came as a bit of a surprise for one of my colleagues to discover that you could do this!

Anyway… so I had a look at other content editors. Well, the one replacement that I could find. Telerik make a variety of controls that can be used in MOSS, including a free ‘RadEditor Lite‘ and then the full ‘RadEditor‘ (which has a free trial). A comparison is available. I’ve used their controls before – they’re pretty good, and their forums and support are very good (which is probably more important when you’re developing). Some of their controls I’ve used before had their quirks – but that’s true of all ‘rich’ controls in web applications, in my experience. The Telerik ones were better than most.

I must actually give it a go sometime. There are extensive instructions on the Telerik site.
