And I've always wondered: WHY are our web browsers saddled with such lame text editors? If real hackers invented the web browser and real hackers code on mozilla and we enter so much data in webforms these days why on earth are we still stuck with the stupid built in editor? Why can't they embed vi or emacs or whatever editor pertains to your particular religion into a textarea widget? And I get REALLY steamed when I have written a large volume of text into a text area and something happens and I lose it! With vi or emacs or some decent editor this wouldn't happen. Yes, I know there are external editor extensions but they just aren't the same and you always have to invoke some special incantation to get the external editor, it doesn't automatically appear in the webpage. -- Tracy R Reed http://copilotconsulting.com -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
