Alex, I think that the bugs that you opened are very important. I just unleashed my application upon the internet public about a week ago and it is taking alot of time. Before releasing it I changed all of my HtmlAreas to Textareas, but I am very interested in the HtmlArea. It will be a few days (maybe a little more) before I will get a chance to look at it again, but I want to keep up with it and I want to use it and I will help with it to the best of my abilities.
