    Wow What a Goal!

    Just saw one of the best goals in the highlights of the women's soccer world cup semi-final game between Brazil and the US.

    Check out fourth goal for brazil scored by Marta in the highlights at - http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3038594&n8pe6c=3. (the goal is around 40 seconds into the highlights)

    Looking forward to seeing the finals between Germany and Brazil on Sunday.

    HTML Text editor - FCKeditor

    While doing some research on features for a HTML text editor for work, I came across the FCKeditor (through a colleague). This is an open source  HTML editor that is easy to use, and has a lot of rich features for content editing.

    Apart from regular rich text editing features, such as font, style, color, etc., it also has a good selection of features such as insert from word (maintaining styles), insert flash, tables, images (resizing, alignment etc. of images), special characters, anchors, spell checker, localized menus, and few other text and content editing features.

    They have included the ability to embed form controls such as creating drop down lists, radio button lists, etc., and form actions (which I have not played with).

    One of the most surprising things about FCKeditor, apart from the name, is that the feature of a Universal Keyboard was removed from the editor. I find that feature very interesting, as editing content in various languages is essential in certain situations. I realize that creating the content of an entire page using the small online keyboard is very painful, but it is a great feature for people who want to add words in different languages. I have asked in their forum the reason of removing the feature. Lets see what I hear back.

    I will be playing around with the features and the code of the latest version and the older version (with the Universal Keyboard) to see the merits of this editor..

    Do let me know if you guys have played with other rich text editors, and have liked it.
