editor features Mozilla vs. Netscape

[Mike Cleven]

I "grew up" with Netscape Composer as a WYSIWYG editor and have since shifted to Mozilla 1.x and its editor function, which has a lot of nice bonuses like the built-in HTML editor, javascript functions etc, frames etc.) but I've noticed there were some things that Composer can do which Editor doesn't, and am wondering if they can be incorporated into Editor or if there are reasons they can't be.

Short list for now:

1) right-clicking on non-table, non-image page surfaces in Composer allows access to Page Properties/Colours; in Editor you have to access those via the Format menu.

2) table properties in Composer allows background images for tables to be selected; in Editor this is only background colour

3) table properties in Composer also allows for creating cells which span more than one row; Editor can combine/split horizontally-related cells, but not vertically-related ones...

4) in Composer there's a taskbar button for "anchor" (named anchor) - this feature is only in Editor as on the "Insert" menu...

5) hmmmm can't think of what else for now but will get back to this later after any responses.....
