Yea... you get the point

I agree. SPAW-CF has 21 languages and you can write your own language file in no time 
(if you want to translate all strings)

I downloaded the Ephox thing and got freaked out when I saw an entry in my Start Menu 
and no uninstaller to be found anywhere. I really dont appreciate it when programs do 
such things even though they are "harmless".

We couldnt afford the ColdFusion Open Source version of ActivEdit for testing 
purposes. I could not get the demo to work on Opera 7.11. The Java version for 
Netscape is pretty neat. I don't think ActivEdit sucks in any way... We just needed a 
GPL option.

>you're screwed unless you write your own.

I agree. We just let our clients know that they will need a PC with IE 5.5+ for their 
"back end" or just live with the plain TEXTAREA tag that will show up in other 
browsers. Check this link in Netscape:

It is a "graceful degradation" of functionality.
