Well formed XHTML in DHTML WYSIWYG Editor

Sjoerd Visscher: Creating well-formed XHTML with IE or Mozilla

"We have a simple client-side clean-up script that extracts well-formed XHTML from the WYSIWYG editor. It even handles pasted HTML from Word rather well. I discussed it with my collegues today, and we are willing to make that script available as open source if people are interested."

I'm interested!

    I would very much like to get my hands on this cleanup code ! The lack of something like this is probably also the reason why these editors aren't more widely used.

    Yup. The HTML code generated by Microsoft's built in editing functions is simply horrendous! I haven't tried the Mozilla editor, but I guess it isn't too good either.
