HTML Editor Quick Reference

What is FCKeditor?

WEBfast uses FCKeditor, a lightweight text editor to be used in web pages.

It provides most of the commonly used functions from desktop editors like Word to the web. By using FCKeditor you can write text, format it, create tables and much more. The editor doesn't need any kind of installation on your computer. The only thing you need to work with FCKeditor is a compatible Internet browser, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Opera.

Compatible browsers

Incompatible browsers

If you use a browser which is a lower version of the browsers listed in the table above or your browser doesn't appear in the table, FCKeditor will work with limited features or won't work at all. You will only see the editing area where you can write in the HTML code. The toolbar wont appear at all.

If you want to work with all of FCKeditor features install one of the compatible browsers and than run the editor.
