Anda tentu pernah memasukkan data di dalam sebuah textarea, seperti jika anda mengisikomentar di dalam blog ini misalnya. Atau jika anda sedang menulis blog menggunakan wordpress, pastinya ada sebuah area visual yang mana kita dapat mengatur berbagai macam jenis tulisan, mulai dengan cetak tebal, miring bahkan memasukkan gambar. TinyMCE merupakan salah satu tools yang dapat digunakan (bahkan default di wordpress).

Sekarang TinyMCE telah merilis versi baru meskipun masih dalam taraf Alpha 1. Ada cukup banyak perbaikan disini, yang diklaim lebih cepat proses loading nya dari versi-versi sebelumnya yang mencapai 75% lebih cepat, serta lebih kecil ukuran filenya yang mencapai angka 33% lebih kecil dari versi sebelumnya. Meskipun bagi saya pribadi segi tampilan tetap nomor satu :D. Berikut merupakanperbaikan yang terdapat dalam TinyMCE 3.0 Alpha 1 (hasil copy paste)
