There are bugs in this - it is actually adding additional html header/page code in firefox - haven't checked any other browsers but I have integrated Xinha myself with no problems.
I emailed the author and have not received any response to my one email.
Also, the new version of Xinha is out. There have been a number of vulnerabilities found so that upgrading to the most recent version is due.

Very great for keeping the fonts of texts copied from .doc or .pdf. I have tried a half dozen WYSIWYG editors, only Xinha keeps the font, size and color.
Based on customer complaints, I wouldn't be able to
recommend that others use this editor. As the title of this review indicates; individuals the either choose not to, or otherwise unable to use Macromedia Flash, will NOT be able to use this editor, unless the author, or the sysadmin of the site makes some adjustments (if that's even possible). This editor also raises the bar to entry for those with disabilities (alternately abled).
While I could be mistaken, as this might be Java, and not Flash. In the end, if your visitors can't [b]easily[/b] use your web site - you'll have less visitors.
While I [b]loved[/b] older versions that didn't have this imposition, I'd have to give [i]this[/i] version a "thumbs down".
Here's hoping for a version with a lower bar to entry. :)

I like this editor a lot, it is lightweight and has all the features of the "big" online editors...
BUT:
(1) I cannot get image editing to work, I just get a new small window that does nothing :-(
(2) The articles on the frontpage have no edit button, only on the other pages
(3) by opening the editor I get a javascript alert error that the editor_url path is not set... anyhow if i click OK, then everything's back to normal
Hoping that this will improve and thanks a lot for the great work !

Looking for this for a very long time. No more cluttery icons. No more unfamiliar tasks. This is the editor I needed.
It worked seamlessly on submitting articles from joomla. But the big drawback of this is cant use it on other components. Using this as the default editor shows only the no-editor interface... no Xinnha loaded. I wonder if it really works that way or just a bug.

I'm already working on it, I'm experiencing a lot of pressure from the users about this issue :)
This is a good attempt to integrate famous Xinha editor into Joomla. I just tested this editor on my Joomla 1.5.12 installation which joomla was installed in a subfolder of www root. when click on the Insert Image button, the ImageManager loads very slow. Almost cost me 20 seconds!
Another problem is, the initial image folder on this ImageManager is not /images, but the root of Joomla installation.

Thanks for the note, I'll change the default image path to images. It was the reason for the long load time, because the ImageManager was trying to find all the subfolders inside the root folder. Now it will search only images directory and it will take less.
Very useful features, especially two. The possibility of saving without leaving the editing mode and the "fullscreen" mode are just perfect!
Excellent!

Seems like a very nicely featured little editor, which combines the functionality of the excellent JCE with a few extra features (like quick toggling of displaying html source). Everything is wrapped up in a slick little interface as well. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
