It works inside yourbrowser. It uses a non-standard feature implemented in InternetExplorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (anyplatform), therefore it will only work in one of these browsers.</p><p>HTMLArea is copyright <ahref="http://interactivetools.com">InteractiveTools.com</a> and <ahref="http://dynarch.com">Dynarch.com</a> and it isreleased under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developedupto version 2.03 by InteractiveTools.com. Version 3.0 developed by<a href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> forInteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by third-party companies as well.Please see our About Box for details about who sponsored what plugins.</p><h2>Online demos</h2><ul><li><a href="examples/core.html">HTMLArea standard</a> -- contains the coreeditor.</li><li><a href="examples/table-operations.html">HTMLArea + tables</a> --loads the <tt>TableOperations</tt> plugin which provides some extraediting features for tables.</li><li><a href="examples/spell-checker.html">HTMLArea + spell checher</a>-- loads the <tt>SpellChecker</tt> plugin which provides what itsname says: a spell checker.

You need to unpack the ZIP filein a directory accessible through your webserver. Supposing youunpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is<tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you needto acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-likeoperating system)</p><pre style="margin-left: 2em">cd /var/www/htmlunzip /path/to/archive/HTMLArea-3.0-rc1.zipmv HTMLArea-3.0-rc1 htmlareafind htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre><p><strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "HTMLArea-3.0-rc1", in which case your server needs to be configured to"<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files areinterpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellCheckerplugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (Irecommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, availablefrom CPAN. More info in "<ahref="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".</p><p>About how to setup your pages to use the editor, please read the[outdated yet generally valid] <ahref="reference.html">documentation</a>.</p><h2>Status and links</h2><p>HTMLArea has reached version 3.0.

If you have the time youshould check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might befixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug wasnot yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as muchdetail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScriptconsole, etc.</li><li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on thefeatures request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li></ul><p>You can <a href="mailto:mishoo@infoiasi.ro">contact me directly</a><em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features toHTMLArea.
