Top features and Benefits

What makes Cute Editor the leading online HTML Editor on the market? Aside from its powerful features and ease to use, here are some of the top reasons that make the Cute Editor your best choice for creating and publishing web content:

A cross-browser, cross-platform WYSIWYG online HTML editor.

Compatible with the most important browsers available in the market: Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+, Netscape 7+, Opera 9.x and Safari (1.3+). This includes Macintosh and Linux.

Compliant with the web standards, no deprecated tags such as <FONT> anymore

Does your online html editor still use deprecated tags such as <FONT>? Cute Editor will help you build sites that adhere to the latest HTML standards, generates clean HTML/XHTML code with no deprecated tags. Why use web standards?

There are many benefits to learning and using web standards. A few examples:

Better search engine rankings: The separation of content and presentation makes the content represent a larger part of the total file size. Combined with semantic markup this will improve search engine rankings.
Faster download and rendering of web pages: Less HTML results in smaller file sizes and quicker downloads. Modern web browsers render pages faster when they are in their standards mode than when they are in their backwards compatible mode.
Compatibility with future web browsers: When you use defined standards and valid code you future-proof your documents by reducing the risk of future web browsers not being able to understand the code you have used.
Simpler development and maintenance: Using more semantic and structured HTML makes it easier and quicker to understand code created by somebody else.
Better accessibility: Semantic HTML, where structure is separated from presentation, makes it easier for screen readers and alternative browsing devices to interpret the content.
Simpler adaptation: A semantically marked up document can be easily adapted to print and alternative browsing devices, like handheld computers and cellular phones, just by linking to a different CSS file. You can also make site-wide changes to presentation by editing a single file.

Insert clean HTML from Microsoft Word.

When text is pasted from Microsoft Word allot of unnecessary word specific markup is carried across. This can result in web pages that take an unnecessarily long time to download. The Paste from Word button solves this by removing word markup before pasting the text into your page.

Use MaxHTMLLength or MaxTextLength to Protect Your Database (Demo)

If you tried to insert a record whose text length is greater than allowed by your table, an error will be reported. To prevent this type of error from occurring, developers can use MaxHTMLLength or MaxTextLength in the Cute Editor to limit the length of the user’s input.

Apply security to control user access to resources

Cute Editor allows developers to assign a pre-defined set of permissions by group or individual. This prevents a normal user to access the administration functionality.

The details of permissions are specified by an XML security policy file. Each level maps to a specific file. The default mappings:

admin—maps to admin.config
default—maps to default.config
guest—maps to guest.config

You can customize and extend each policy file by editing the XML security policy file. You can also create your own policy files that define arbitrary permission sets.
