You use WYSIWYG editors in your web apps, don't you ?
I added into current site standard and popular WYSIWYG editor, it was cool as design but there was a problem - it really slow down the page, where was added. The editor contains almost 500 files (js, css, images). It looks cool to have 'Word' on your page but do are you ready to pay the cost with slowing ? I'm not, so I've created a simple but fast meta editor. You can download it absolutelly free from http://www.aspnetsource.com/products/TihEditor.aspx. All editors on that site uses this editor. it doesn't contain any images, only about 10 lines of css and 5 lines javascript. It has basic features of editor - bold, italic, underline, quote, link, image and colored text in basic colors (red, green, blue, etc.):

Another advantage is that the values which post the editor are NOT in html, so in every page you can add ValidateRequest='True'.
That's all, I hope this editor may be useful to someone else, too :)
