    I have some code that I started out with for using FCKeditor in the admin area that can be turned off and on via javascript in the posting area. ; I would be glad to share if anyone is interested.  

I quit working on it when I found out that FCKeditor doesn't support Safari.

TinyMCE works with all browsers and shouldn't be too different to
integrate.  Either way Ruby code to handle file upload would be needed as I didn't get to that.

OTOH, any editor that inserts <font&gt; tags needs to die .

Moxiecode claims partial support but it's horribly buggy to
the point of
uselessness.  I've just told my customers to use Mozilla
until Apple
fixes getSelection() and contentEditable (they claim that
the next
Safari release should have the fixes).

Have you actually used TinyMCE on Safari?  Is your
experience different
than mine?

I've implemented TinyMCE for a production system, and
Safari and Opera
8 are horribly broken in it.  In my case, we just detect
safari and
fall back to a text area, which isn't nice but its better
then an
editor that has a lot of buttons that don't work.  The
worst part is
that TinyMCE is about the best open source option for
browser support
- Dojo, FCKEditor, and others are all the same or worse.

Safari is just broke regarding the rich text stuff, but its
getting
better in the Web Kit nightlies.
