As another alternative, nobody has mentioned Kupu, which my company has
used for some internal projects. It's JS-based and claims to work on all
major browsers.

It can be found here: http://kupu.oscom.org/. There is a very nice demo on
that page as well.

>From the release notes:

What is Kupu?
--------------

Kupu is a JavaScript WYSIWYG editor that works on both Mozilla and
Internet Explorer based browsers. It allows editing a web-page from the
application serving it rather then in a seperate application.

Key features are extensibility and clean code, but it tries to also
provide a good user experience by using a different approach for certain
standard things, for instance it's 'document-centric' rather then
'data-centric', meaning that (in the default setup) one edits a full
page rather than part of a form (note that it *can* be used as a
'textarea replacement' as well) and it uses PUT request (also optional)
whenever possible to give the user the impression he's working in a
'real' application rather then on some web page.

Kupu is released under a BSD-style license.
