Wow, nice looking editor
Danilo... I think that would be a nice add-on. The general features shouldn't be too hard to do, the javascript sends data to the necessary global variables, e.g. $_POST, which is how any form data is accessed. The only problem is making the "emotions" bbcodes compatible... I can't see anything on their site for handling that API.
Theres a nice example here on straight php integration:

Thanks for bringing it up, I think its good to see alternative mods like this - and as webmasters/developers, if we are worth such titles, then we should ultimately consider the end user experience, and anything that provides user input should be made as "comfortable" to use as possible. I think in the future we will see a lot more input methods like this becoming standard, particularly as over the last couple of years javascript has become more or less standardised across browser platforms, especially as more people start to adopt online MS office-style products (e.g.
ThinkFree Office) - AJAX is becoming the norm... and what better step than to integrate an office style interface with a forum...
