Any WYSIWYGs that use contentEditable rather than an iframe?

Question

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?

does it need to be language agnostic or are you using one specific development language. — Chase Florell, Jul 08 '10 at 16:57
Needs to be for editing content in a web site--like TinyMCE. Needs to work with PHP. Pure Javascript like TinyMCE would be great. — Chad Johnson, Jul 08 '10 at 17:06

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).

Microsoft + .NET = proprietary + costly = suck. Thanks for posting though. — Chad Johnson, Jul 08 '10 at 17:16

Another few to throw in there, although I've never used any of them in production so can't vouch for them:
