WYSIWYG Online Editor

You opinions please.
I am considering implementing a WYSIWYG editor into our system so
complete no knowledge users can create HTML files in a WYSIWYG enviroment.
It needs to be able to open, edit and save html files to a specific
directory and must be usable in all browsers and OS's.

Which would be better in your opinion, Java or Flash?

Only two choices? I suppose it depends on the complexity, but I would do
it server-side.

Almost impossible server side... There a JS tools (free) that let you
drag and drop create web content, text formatting and image formatting.
None of this could be done server side. The save function would simply
be a form-post, which would be handled server side (file creation etc).

Are there any other choices then?
I would prefer to keep away from Javascript because it behaves badly in
some browsers. The reason I thought flash or java was because once
loaded into a browser, it does exactly what it should, hopefully.

Someone recommended this one to me recently. It's JS, but while I haven't
tested it extensively yet, I did check it out in the major browsers, and
it seems to do just fine.

Looks good apart from I would want it to be able to open / edit and save
differnet files.
This seems to open a single file only.
Thanks though.

It ships with BLOG:CMS. I've used it, it's ok, but TinyMCE is much better.
FCK takes much longer to load documents.
