    OR:

  • Apply external css file to the Editor
    Editor content will appear as formatted by the external stylesheet, and the style classes can be selected from the "Styles Selection" dialog.
  • Insert Web Assets in the form of objects or hyperlinks
    < If you enable the Asset Manager add-on, a browse button will appear in the "Hyperlink" dialog, "Image" dialog, "Insert Flash" dialog and "Insert Media" dialog.

  • Fullscreen editing mode
    The fullscreen mode does not open a new window, instead it will resize to fit the browser screen.



  • Insert pre-defined Custom Tags
    Custom tags are commonly used in many mailing systems, where they will be replaced with user information to construct personalized email content. Custom tags are also useful in template creation in web content management systems.



  • Handling Relative paths issue
    It is a common problem in browser-based Editing that relative paths are always converted to absolute paths after viewing the content/HTML source. This problem is now solved with InnovaStudio WYSIWYG Editor. The Editor will keep the relative path as it is.

  • Insert Custom HTML
    This feature allows you to insert your custom prepared content (e.g. company logo, signature, or any commonly used content). It has the advantage that all inserted images which have relative paths will be kept as they are (the relative paths will not be converted to absolute).

  • Insert Custom Link
    This feature allows you to insert your custom links for example internal links or links to pages on your server. The Editor has an "Internal Link" button which can be enabled to open your custom link lookup page.

  • Preview Window
    See how your content is displayed in a browser using a Preview Window.


    The preview window is resizable.

  • Preview/Edit HTML Source with code formatting & coloring
    You can preview/edit HTML Source with code formatting & coloring. If you're using IE, the Source Editor will also locate the cursor/selection based on the current selected tag in the WYSIWYG view (many competing products will usually locate the cursor at the very beginning of the text).



    Note that you can easily configure whether you'd like to edit full HTML source or the BODY section only.

  • Flexible placement of the Editor scripts
    The Editor scripts can be placed & used anywhere in your web folders.

  • Fully configurable toolbar buttons & dropdowns
    You can show/hide the Editor buttons & dropdowns, re-arrange them, apply button spaces and apply toolbar line breaks (no external configuration file is required). This provides greater flexibility and control to meet the clients requirements.

  • Spell Checking integration
    InnovaStudio WYSIWYG Editor can be easily integrated with ieSpell from: www.iespell.com (Requires IE browser).

  • Realtime toolbar status
    The Editor buttons will enabled/disabled based on the current selection.
