Any decent "html design" plugin available for use in a website? - presentation

I have a need of allowing visitors to my site to create their own "popup" screens.
I would like to have a WYSIWYG like interface where they can add images, backgrounds, text and move it around, resize, etc. Kind of like building a PowerPoint slide really...
Is there any plugin that can offer such function?
I've been Googling like crazy but can only find "big" solutions which I can't incorporate in my own web-site or "desktop" versions...
Something like this: http://framebox.org/
Although as a jQuery plugin or other simple to adapt plugin framework.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Anders

Plugin for adding content to blog post

I'm implementing a blog in my website and i'm looking for a plugin that will allow the users to style their posts. Like the bar here in stack overflow that lets me add images, links and such...
I'm not looking to integrate wordpress. I already have the blog engine implemented, and I'm just looking for this kind of plugin.
Anyone know about one?
Many thanks!

What you're looking for is a WYSIWYG editor that is embedable in your backend.
WYSIWYG is an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get". In computing, a WYSIWYG editor is a system in which content (text and graphics) displayed onscreen during editing appears in a form closely corresponding to its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, which might be a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.
This way you can adapt a textarea to make it something like the editor you have on SO.
Try googling "embedable WYSIWYG editor": http://tinyurl.com/nd3to4c
You'll find tons of javascript plugins that give you these features.

Any WYSIWYGs that use contentEditable rather than an iframe?

I am looking for a list of WYSIWYG editors that use contentEditable rather than a designMode iframe.
The reason I want this is that I want to have a few regions (divs) on my site that users can edit, and I want the styling (fonts, font colors, etc). to look the same in the edit area as it normally does. I don't want to have to apply a stylesheet to the WYSIWYG's iframe.
Anyone know of any light-weight, free/open-source ones?
It's not free but I personally feel that the Telerik RadEditor is hands down the best WYSIWYG around.
It's not free
It's .NET only
It allows you to style the editor to match your site exactly
It has some great asset management tools
It's super easy to configure.
Also if you can get away with a little less "fancy" I'd say that WMD is an awesome WYSIWY***M*** editor, and can be used across multiple development languages (It's what StackOverflow uses here on this site).
New ckeditor v4 beta has support for content-editable. http://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4-beta
Looks like NicEdit uses contentEditable. YAY! THIS MAY WORK!
Another few to throw in there, although I've never used any of them in production so can't vouch for them:
Aloha Editor
wysihtml5
Raptor Editor

highlight a text in web view

I am using a html page in the web view. I want to track the location of the html page when I tap on the webview.Basically I want to mark the selected text in the html page.Please help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
You're gonna have to do some javascript injection on the loaded page if it's not your own html. The javascript needs to locate the tap location and change the CSS of the element(s) where the tap occurred to highlight it. You can't do this just from UIWebView alone.
the developer of iCab Mobile (a full-featured iphone web browser) has some good discussions of things they did along those lines.
http://www.icab.de/blog/2009/07/27/webkit-on-the-iphone-part-1/
There's quite a bit involved with stuff like this. You can google around for something like "iPhone hybrid application project". There's a few opensource items out there which would be useful for learning these techniques.
Also for future consideration, it's kind of rude to suggest someone should "help you out as soon as possible".

CMS for Professional Photographer with Pretty Admin Back End

I'm working on a few sites for professional photographers who want to be able to update on their own. I'm looking for a simple CMS solution that has very basic functionality as a gallery and is easy for them to work with. My main concern is with ordering images--I'd like for them to be able to drag their thumbnails around and lock the order. I suspect there is an existing solution out there and am looking for recommendations. I've seen something like this driven by Flash for Flash sites, but I don't know the name of it. I'm looking for something that is similar, but not Flash.
Photogallery tikiti is nice http://www.rocky.nu/photogallery/
I used wordpress and the dm_albums plugin for this site http://www.arkphotography.co.uk
I found dm_albums easy to use, and so did the photographer who had little experience of using wordpress and none of using dm_albums.
