Revjon’s FreeTextBox control provides programmers with
a user interface element for a WYSIWYG HTML editing
environment similar to what is available in word
processors. Developers can add text-editing
capabilities to ASP.NET (Web Forms) Web pages. Users
can therefore edit text and click on buttons to format
their text, just like in a text editor.

The control is written in C# and has many options for
customization. It can be validated using standard
ASP.NET validators. The code is not marked CLS
compliant, so developers may encounter problems when
using it in languages other than C#.

MSHTML is reputed to make certain changes to HTML
code, such as changing relative URLs to absolute.
Developers can prevent this by using the control’s
properties. Some developers have noted that it has
problems in Opera 7. It lacks find and replace, as
well as a context menu.
