Reviews : 5 Components Worth Buying :

ActivEdit

CF Dev Web Site

I remember way back when, in 1997, building dynamic applications for clients. This was before there was any kind of affordable content management solution available. I had to spend a lot of time designing databases and forms to allow users to edit content in their Web site and still be able to have a little control of how it looked, albeit without having to know HTML. Back then, I would have killed someone to get this tool. Fortunately, now I don't have to.

ActivEdit basically uses ActiveX, JavaScript, Java and DHTML to generate an editing window that you can embed in a form page. Behind the scenes, ActivEdit turns whatever the user creates into HTML and CSS code that can be saved to a database, written to a file, or whatever you like. Because the interface is so much like any word processing tool, pretty much anyone can use it without having to learn HTML.

The latest version contains a number of great features including a spell checker, the ability to scan documents and images into it from TWAIN-compliant sources and a toggle to enter code directly (if you have a document already in HTML, for example). One key feature is that you can have multiple instances of the editor within a single form, a feature lacking in some other tools.

To embed this into your application is as easy as using a single custom JSP tag. You give it a name and the resulting character data is carried over to be processed just as a <textarea> tag would. The pricing structure starts at $100.
