Online demos

• HTMLArea standard -- contains the core editor. (Note: This page was created using this)
  Just need to Cut and Paste code into your HTML document.
• HTMLArea + tables -- loads the TableOperations plugin which provides some extra editing features for tables.
• HTMLArea Full HTML Editor -- loads the FullPage plugin which allows you to edit a full HTML page.
• HTMLArea with Context Menu -- this plugin provides a nice and useful context menu.
• HTMLArea fully loaded -- all of the above. ;-)

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.

HTMLArea is copyright:

InteractiveTools.com and Dynarch.com and it is released under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developed upto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com. Version 3.0 developed by Mihai Bazon for InteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by third-party companies as well. Please see our About Box for details about who sponsored what plugins.

Status and links if you wish to download and install on your own server:

HTMLArea has reached version 3.0. As of this version, it supports:

• Delivers W3-compliant HTML (with few exceptions)
• Has a subset of Microsoft Word's keyboard shortcuts
• Full-screen editor
• Advanced table operations (by external plugin "TableOperations")
• Spell checker (by external plugin "SpellChecker")
• probably more... ;-)

We have a project page at SourceForge.net. There you can also find out how to retrieve the code from CVS, or you can browse the CVS online. We also have a bug system, a patch tracking system and a feature request page.

We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea on the forums at InteractiveTools.com. There you should also find the latest news.

Sometimes I post news about the latest developments on my personal homepage.

"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"

If it doesn't work, you have several options:

• 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).
• 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.
• If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.

You can contact me directly only 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. ;-)
