Question

does anyone know of a nice javascript (preferably jquery) library that allows you to drag, drop and edit in place, in a similar manner to the weebly content editor?

I've been searching for something similar for a long time. Here's a compilation of the best I've found so far (apart from the obvious ones like TinyMCE, FCK Editor, NicEdit, MarkItUp! etc..)

Answer 2

So, almost four years after the original question, people are still searching.

I've been researching something similar for a couple of days now. We need a drag & drop editor for inclusion in an open source project. It needs to be a truly drag & drop site builder, not just a (fancy) text editor. These are some of the editors that look promising. Some of these may have been mentioned before. Not all are free or open source.
