Safari 3 has recently become a first class citizen in the world of WYSIWYG Rich Text Editors. Until recently, the majority of Rich Text Editors didn’t support Safari so if you were using a content management system or blogging software to edit your content online then Safari would usually default to a plain old text area.
But in the past few months a couple of most popular Rich Text Editors have begun to support Safari.
As of version 2.5, FCKEditor now supports Safari 3. Their free editor can be integrated into most development environments and has plug-ins for dealing with file browsing and photo management.
TinyMCE (the editor used on WordPress) also supports Safari, but with the caveat that it’s still experimental.
CuteEditor is a paid for product and has supported Safari for some time now.
Now all that we need is for site owners and CMS developers to replace the older versions of these editors to the newer versions which support Safari.
