Create the most simple HTML page with only TEXTAREA inside, nothing
else. And now try to type something in it. Type more then one two lines
of text. And now try to move on this text by arrow keys and so on. Are
you able to go directly to the previous (or next) line by up (down)
arrow key? Don't you erase the end of you writings while trying to
delete the first word because with Backspace cursor magicaly jumps from
the first position to the last? Etc. etc. And every single build I try
behaves diferently from the previous. Maybe that's good since someone
probably working on it ^_^
As for slowness with lot of forms in page I can't provide any URL
since most visible pages use max. 3 form controls. But maybe you can
find some database powered site which uses pages with lots of form
controls for backend, textareas and input fields prefilled with data. I
have to work with some and I must say that Mozilla is unuseable on them
- simply displaying such pages takes her (er, Mozilla is a woman in
Czech ^_^) 5x-10x more time than IE (something like infamous DHTML
performance). It's two weeks Mozilla cut submitted data in textarea for me.
Don't get me wrong, I follow Mozilla from her beginning and I like
her very much, but simply there is still the long way before her to be
really useable.
