<h1>HTMLArea -- the free<br/>customizable online editor</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
HTMLArea is a free, customizable online editor. It works inside your
|
||
|
|
browser. It uses a non-standard feature implemented in Internet
|
||
|
|
Explorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (any
|
||
|
|
platform), therefore it will only work in one of these browsers.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|

HTMLArea is copyright <a

|
||
|
|
released under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developed
|
||
|
|
upto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com. Version 3.0 developed by

||
|
|
<a href="http://students.infoiasi.ro/~mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> for
|
||
|
|
InteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by other companies as

<h2>Installation</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Installation is (or should be) easy. You need to unpack the ZIP file
|
||
|
|
in a directory accessible through your webserver. Supposing you
|
||
|
|
unpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is
|
||
|
|
<tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you need
|
||
|
|
to acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-like
|
||
|
|
operating system)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre style="margin-left: 2em"
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
cd /var/www/html
|
||
|
|
unzip /path/to/archive/HTMLArea-3.0-beta.zip
|
||
|
|
mv HTMLArea-3.0-beta htmlarea
|
||
|
|
find htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
|
||
|
|
find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
|
||
|
|
find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "HTMLArea-3.0-beta", in which case your server needs to be configured to
|
||
|
|
"<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
|
||
|
|
interpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellChecker
|
||
|
|
plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
|
||
|
|
recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
|
||
|
|
from CPAN. More info in "<a
|
||
|
|
href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".

<p>We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea <a

href="http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=14;">on the
|
||
|

forums</a> at InteractiveTools.com. There you should also find the

<h2>"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If it doesn't work, you have several options:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Post a message to the forum. Describe your problem in as much
|
||
|
|
detail as possible. Include errors you might find in the JavaScript
|
||
|
|
console (if you are a Mozilla user), or errors displayed by IE (though
|
||
|
|
they're most of the times useless).</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If you're positive that you discovered a bug in HTMLArea then feel
|
||
|
|
free to fill a bug report in our bug system. If you have the time you
|
||
|
|
should check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might be
|
||
|
|
fixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug was
|
||
|
|
not yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as much
|
||
|
|
detail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScript
|
||
|
|
console, etc.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the
|
||
|
|
features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can <a href="mailto:mishoo@infoiasi.ro">contact me directly</a>
|
||
|
|
<em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features to
|
||
|
|
HTMLArea. If you want to sponsor these features (that is, allow them to
|
||
|
|
get back into the public HTMLArea distribution) I'll be cheaper. ;-)</p>
