Peter, I too would like to use the HtmlArea widget, but unfortunately I agree with you. I have a product that I am just releasing and I was using the HtmlArea (not the editor as I wrote my own editor, but the HtmlArea itself). I provided a bug report to Alex about a week or two ago about one of my problems, but have heard nothing about it. My main problem is that the HtmlArea widget loses focus and will not regain it now matter what - thus you cannot enter anything into it. My second problem is that sometimes it stops taking certain keys - usually the i and I don't remember the others. I figured that after making the bug report to Alex that I would just wait for info about the fix, but a day or so later I went to my local library to see how my program looked on their computers. I was pretty disappointed to find out that none of my HtmlAeas would take the focus. They were pretty, but useless. This was on Windows Vista. So I came home and now I redesigned my application to use textareas instead. I need an html editor, but I am going to have to wait. It seems to me that what Alex (and others that worked on the HtmlArea) have an awful design to start with. Meaning having to start with the the editable iframe. I don't know if it is ever going to really work properly because of that. I think that it is very strange indeed, that the internet runs on html, but there are not any good ways to get html into your browser. My 2 cents worth.
