A WYSIWYG text editor for iPhone Safari?

After a few tests with my iPhone on vario开发者_StackOverflow社区us sites (a few Django one etc) I was looking at WYSIWYG editors and realised they don't really work too well on small touch screen devices such as the iPhone. Infact, TinyMCE (which I use for most Django projects) just doesn't really work at all.

So I'm curious, is there a solution out there will allow simple text editing functions for text boxes that work on iPhone Safari? ...even just simple stuff as bold, italic, lists etc. Or would I have to come up with my own?

Thanks for any information and light on this issue.

I fear you will have to do it yourself, because all browser versions for the iphone are pretty stripped down in functionality (that is why TinyMCE does not work).

After doing some research myself on this issue, WYSIWYGs are terrible on Mobile Safari across the board due to a lack of features in the browser.

See this thread in CLEditor discussing the issue: http://groups.google.com/group/cleditor/browse_thread/thread/bc64062dae8a22dc

That being said, using CLEditor you at least get a usable textarea on Mobile Safari.

Mobile Safari's HTML 5 implementation doesn't support the contenteditable attribute, so the majority of the better WYSIWYG rich text editors (TinyMCE, FCKEditor, YUI's RTE) are disabled on the iPad and other iOS devices for now. Frustrating, for sure.
