Hi Christian,
Thanks greatly for your response I appreciate it. This is great to hear.
How are you finding midas? I have been having a little play with it myself
looks like it is cool.
I just ran into http://xopus.org a "cross-browser" XML editor. Their Moz
demo didn't seem to work so well (I only have Moz 1.0 right now, which is
soon to be rectified ;-) ), but their IE one worked very well, although it
is a little slow to download :-)
Here is how it works:
"Xopus uses XSLT stylesheets to transform the XML to user presentable HTML.
The user can edit this HTML like he or she is editing HTML in a wysiwyg
HTML editor or a word processor. All changes are stored in the XML."
They use MSXML 4.0 to allow this to happen within IE, which I think is a
potentially excellent approach to take for an IE bitflux port as it is (from
my limited understanding) a similar architecture to bitflux. This is much
better than using execCommand and iFrame as this calls the windows operating
system and is an entirely different architecture than bitflux (and forget IE
running on a MAC or linux). It does require the user to install a plug-in
for the browser but I think that is an okay trade off.
What are your thoughts on this approach? Any other thoughts about xopus as
it is also an open source project with seemingly similar objectives to
bitflux?
Awesome,
Z
