True, some Web sites do not give you a really nice text editor to work with. Some of the text input forms on the Web are downright ugly at times. Don’t you wish you could just take your own HTML editor to any online form so your written words might look a little nicer? That is what Xinha Here! allows you to do. Think of it as icing on the cake when it comes to editing your online text.

So what is this extension all about?

Xinha Here! is a wrapper for the Xinha HTML editor that enables WYSIWYG editing in any HTML text area and text input elements. Xinha Here! opens Xinha editor on the client side. This allows you to edit the field data in a WYSIWYG editor on any website without coping and pasting to a secondary editor. To use Xinha Here! simply select Xinha Here! from the context menu of the desired text area or text input element. Up will pop a Xinha WYSIWYG HTML editor. Press OK and the raw HTML is pushed back to the original text box. Simple as that.

Because the Xinha editor is installed on your local machine rather then a server it is both portable (use it on any Web site) and faster (files don’t need to be transferred over the Net). This extension goes great with the SpellBound spell checker extension.

This Firefox extension is for versions 1.0 and up of the browser. If you want to download it and try it for yourself then you can do so at the Mozilla Update Web site.
