Looks great but: - is there a live demo somewhere? - it looks like you're kind-of reinventing the wheel, as Apache Wave already has that kind of editor. Wave's one is based on an XML-like document whose schema is not (X)HTML; the added flexible obviously translates into a more complex design but it works quite well (I've used it in a project where we had to constrain the input –e.g. no image in a title–, and handle "semantic links", among other things; and FWIW, the Wave editor powers the new Blogger comment form), and has already been heavily tested on many browsers (at Google, before being donated to Apache; though given its use in Blogger, it's highly probably that it's still heavily tested at Google, and I guess they'd contribute back to Apache if/when they fix things) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
