This is a main problem of all WYSIWYG editors out there. They work best when the user starts from scratch and the more not-well formed HTML is handed into the editor the worse is the editing. The HtmlArea is relying on the fact that the HTML which is set as content is well-formed. This is a main assumption which is - in my opinion - necessary to make. The HtmlArea should provide the pure editing of HTML and nothing more. If it's necessary to clean up HTML then this should be done outside before handing in the HTML. Otherwise you would blow up the implementation which is not a good choice in my opinion.

I'll personally work hard to fix them, but as anyone I only have limited time and also some other tasks. So please be a little patient, if some issue are not fixed right away. cheers, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
