If you want to see which editors other developers rely on most, start with the Top 20 JavaScript & jQuery WYSIWYG editors. This popular overview highlights best-selling rich text editors, inline editors, JavaScript text editors, live CSS/HTML editors and image / SVG editors, so you can quickly shortlist proven options for CMS projects, admin panels and SaaS dashboards.

In the main JavaScript & jQuery WYSIWYG editors category you’ll find a mix of classic jQuery WYSIWYG editor plugins and modern, dependency-free JavaScript rich text editors. Many items support features like formatting toolbars, lists, headings, tables, code view, image upload, drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts and clean HTML output, making them ideal for blog posts, product descriptions, comments, support replies and more.

Typical use cases for these JavaScript and jQuery HTML editors include:

• Embedding a JavaScript WYSIWYG editor into a custom CMS or blog engine.
• Adding a rich text editor to admin panels, CRMs or project management tools.
• Providing formatted content fields for product descriptions in eCommerce systems.
• Building an online HTML editor or live preview tool for developers and marketers.
• Replacing plain textareas in forms with a jQuery WYSIWYG editor for better UX.

For projects that rely heavily on forms, you can combine a WYSIWYG editor from this category with components from the JavaScript & jQuery forms category. Multi-step form wizards, validation plugins and AJAX contact forms from that section work well together with rich text editors for feedback, messaging or support tickets. If you want broader UI components, sliders and navigation, have a look at the JavaScript & jQuery plugins category and the Top 20 JavaScript & jQuery plugins page.

These editors usually sit on top of a back-end built with assets from the wider Scripts & Code marketplace. A WYSIWYG HTML editor JavaScript plugin from this page can store its content in a database or API powered by PHP scripts & PHP code, Django projects with source code or NodeJS projects with source code. Styling can be handled with assets from CSS templates and code for a consistent UI.

If you are building a content-driven website or blog, these WYSIWYG HTML editors integrate neatly with WordPress themes and HTML templates. You can use a template for the public-facing site and embed a rich text editor from this category in your custom admin pages, user dashboards or front-end submission forms.

When you compare JavaScript WYSIWYG editors and jQuery HTML editors, a simple workflow helps:

1. Browse the category overview and filter by popularity, rating, newest or price.
2. Open several promising editors in new tabs and read through features and browser support.
3. Try the live demos, paying attention to toolbar options, mobile behaviour and copy-paste handling.
4. Check which file types are included (JS, CSS, language packs, example HTML) and whether the editor is inline or iframe-based.
5. Review documentation to see how to initialize the editor, configure the toolbar and sanitize or store the generated HTML.

For theory and browser fundamentals behind rich text editing, you can refer to MDN Web Docs on contenteditable and related rich text editor guides. For examples of full-featured editors and configuration ideas, resources such as the TinyMCE rich text editor documentation or the CKEditor website show common patterns in modern WYSIWYG editors that you can also apply when working with Codester assets.

After you download a JavaScript WYSIWYG editor or jQuery WYSIWYG plugin from Codester, you can adapt it to your stack: customize the toolbar, define allowed HTML tags, change the theme, connect image uploads to your storage, and integrate autosave or versioning. Many teams build an internal library of preferred JavaScript HTML editors from this category and reuse them across multiple CMSs, SaaS products, client projects and internal tools.

Whether you are adding a simple rich text editor to a contact form or building a full online HTML editor, the JavaScript & jQuery WYSIWYG editors category and its Top 20 JavaScript & jQuery WYSIWYG editors overview give you a strong starting point. Choose an editor that matches your requirements, plug it into your application and focus your time on content workflows and user experience instead of low-level editing logic.
