[opencms-dev] Browser for editing on OSX?

[Claus Priisholm]

ActiveX editor is a windows only thingy. So until a better 
cross-platform solution comes up non-windows platforms we are out of 
luck.
That said, Mozilla/Netscape (and probably other Gecko variants like 
Camino) works fine with OpenCms, except the Explorer-tree (left-hand 
side) is listed with a very small font-size (happens in other places as 
well). And at least the source-code editor exhibits a much better 
selection-behaviour compared to the ditto on Windows - just being able 
to select a tag with getting the preceeding ">" character included in 
the selection is a bliss :-)
There are issues with Safari - most obvious is the lacking linebreaks 
in the right-hand side of the explorer view which renders it unusable - 
font problem with the tree as for Mozilla, but the anti-aliasing in 
Safari at least makes the text legible.
IE5, well, I haven't tested it and since even Microsoft has given up on 
it (due to Apple's unfair advantage of having intimate knowledge of the 
underlying operating system... go figure) it is pretty safe to assume 
that there will never be a OS X port of their editor component...
