Personal sandbox of Michael Leigeber, web designer and developer.

TinyEditor is a simple JavaScript WYSIWYG editor that is both lightweight (8KB) and standalone. It can easily be customized to integrate with any website through CSS and the multitude of parameters. It handles most of the basic formatting needs and has some functionality built in to help keep the rendered markup as clean as possible. The icons are courtesy of famfamfam and have been combined into a sprite so there are only a few HTTP requests for the editor. I plan on adding some updates in the future to support font color, a full-screen mode, and a paste from Word option.

To initialize the script use the following:

new TINY.editor.edit('editor',{
	id:'input', // (required) ID of the textarea
	width:584, // (optional) width of the editor
	height:175, // (optional) heightof the editor
	cssclass:'te', // (optional) CSS class of the editor
	controlclass:'tecontrol', // (optional) CSS class of the buttons
	rowclass:'teheader', // (optional) CSS class of the button rows
	dividerclass:'tedivider', // (optional) CSS class of the button diviers
	controls:['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strikethrough', '|', 'subscript', 'superscript', '|', 'orderedlist', 'unorderedlist', '|' ,'outdent' ,'indent', '|', 'leftalign', 'centeralign', 'rightalign', 'blockjustify', '|', 'unformat', '|', 'undo', 'redo', 'n', 'font', 'size', 'style', '|', 'image', 'hr', 'link', 'unlink', '|', 'cut', 'copy', 'paste', 'print'], // (required) options you want available, a '|' represents a divider and an 'n' represents a new row
	footer:true, // (optional) show the footer
	fonts:['Verdana','Arial','Georgia','Trebuchet MS'],  // (optional) array of fonts to display
	xhtml:true, // (optional) generate XHTML vs HTML
	cssfile:'style.css', // (optional) attach an external CSS file to the editor
	content:'starting content', // (optional) set the starting content else it will default to the textarea content
	css:'body{background-color:#ccc}', // (optional) attach CSS to the editor
	bodyid:'editor', // (optional) attach an ID to the editor body
	footerclass:'tefooter', // (optional) CSS class of the footer
	toggle:{text:'source',activetext:'wysiwyg',cssclass:'toggle'}, // (optional) toggle to markup view options
	resize:{cssclass:'resize'} // (optional) display options for the editor resize
});

The first parameter taken by TINY.editor.edit is the variable name used for the object instance. Keep in mind that before posting you will need to call the instance.post() function to ensure that the latest changes in the WYSIWYG translate into the text area. This script has been tested in all major browsers and is available free of charge for both personal or commercial projects under the creative commons license. Community support is available here. Paid support is also available, contact me for details.

Happy new years to everyone! I wanted to announce that as of yesterday I am working independently again, focusing my efforts on building my web development company, Refina. This change also means I will finally have time to be more active in the development community and work on some of my start-up concepts. I will be releasing new scripts starting shortly and begin writing more about web development in general. I will also likely be re-branding leigeber.com to something more generic and am looking for guest authors so please contact me if you are interested.

I am actively seeking web design and application development projects both small and large. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance or if you know anyone who I should talk to. Hope you all have great 2010!

This super lightweight (1.5KB) and standalone sliding slideshow script can easily be customized to integrate with any website through CSS. You can add any content to it, not just images, and it gracefully degrades without JavaScript support. The script supports automatic rotation with the option to auto-resume, an active class on a navigation list if applicable, and a direction toggle (vertical or horizontal).

To initialize the script use the following:

var slideshow=new TINY.slider.slide('slideshow',{
	id:'slider', // ID of the parent slideshow div
	auto:3, // Seconds to auto-advance, defaults to disabled
	resume:true, // Resume auto after interrupted, defaults to false
	vertical:false, // Direction, defaults to false
	navid:'pagination', // Optional ID of direct navigation UL
	activeclass:'current', // Class to set on the current LI
	position:0 // Initial slide position, defaulting to index 0
});

The first parameter taken by TINY.slider.slide is the variable name used for the object instance. You can also optionally set width and height parameters for the applicable direction you are sliding. If it is not set the width or height will be automatically calculated using the offsetWidth/offsetHeight of the first list element. This script has been tested in all major browsers and is available free of charge for both personal or commercial projects under the creative commons license. Community support is available here.
