Hi all! I've been trying other ways to design the graphic parts of our intranet, and I've found the IEMethod product. It's amazing! It's just like a DTML method but it has a tab called editor where there is a WYSIWYG editor for IE. The bad thing is that it doesn't include graphics, tables or forms. Does anyone know about a similar product that would include these too? Or, if the author is about, will new versions of it include these? Thanks in advance, Igor Leturia

I've said that too often, I know, but we have something like that in the pipe ;-) There are a couple of free (GPLed or even LGPLed) WYSIWYG implementations for IE, as the basic technology is in IE anyway. One of them (it's called "RichTextEditor") even has a little table builder. IEMethod is not too actively maintained. The current "official" release does not work with Linux, but in our Kontentor demo download there is a fixed version. I think that IEMethod has the wrong basic concept. We don't need an IE WYSIWYG DOCUMENT (storage is not any different if you are dealing with a WYSIWYG form or with a plain textarea form), but a WYSIWYG form field! So what we'll do is take Formulator and add a "WYSIWYG text field" or so to it. I'd like to have something like a Java-based image-map builder -- that's the one we are missing. What we have, is basic table creation support (not the IE way, but using plain HTML w/o Javascript) and forms can be built using Formulator or whatever we will put on top of it for the long-awaited Kontentor 2.x release, ... If you need even more, like real graphics manipulation, I'd forget about using the browser for it. Take Dreamweaver or GoLive instead ... Joachim
