What's the best WYSIWYG editor when using the ASP.NET MVC Framework? [closed]

Was wondering what the best WYSIWYG editor that I can embed in a web-site based on the ASP.NET MVC Framework? Ideally it should be Xhtml compliant and allow users to embed images etc.

The only one I've used before is the FCKEditor, how well does this work with the MVC - has anyone tried...?

My main requirements are:

  • Xhtml compliance
  • Deprecate (as best it can) when Javascript is disabled
  • Modify the toolbar options
  • Skinable (at least easily change the look and feel)
  • Easy to use client side api
  • Plays nicely with the ASP.NET MVC framework

Edit:

As Nick said, the XStandard editor is good, but requires a plug-in...what are your thoughts on requiring a plug-in for web-site functionality?

Thanks,
Kieron

Additional info:

As Hippo answered, the TinyMCE edit is ideal - for completness here's there download page:

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php

There's a download for .NET, JSP, ColdFusion, PHP and a jQuery plug-in too. Also, there are language packs available.

Been using it for a while now, best editor I've used. Thanks all!

What are WYSIWYG editors why are they used give two examples of WYSIWYG editors?

WYSIWYG editors enable users to manipulate the content or layout without having to type any commands. For example, when users write a document using a word processor, it uses WYSIWYG, as what they create, format and edit is replicated in the printed document or PDF file.

Is there a WYSIWYG HTML editor?

Adobe Dreamweaver is a great WYSIWYG HTML editor, but it does so much more as well. You can use it to edit code in JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and more. On top of that, Adobe Dreamweaver allows you to use layouts and templates to make the process simpler.

I really like TinyMCE which also should fit your requirements. It is well documented and offers a lot of possibilities to configure.

CKEditor (the next version of FCKEditor) is in beta, but looks like it might eventually be pretty nice.
