no, I think there is one, but the idea is that this will be integrated into
a bigger topsecret/binarycloud/r2/project/thingy that will do other _very_
fancy things like spellcheck, previews, and MS office 200+ paste-cleaning
(so you can copy & paste office documents in without having to do much
re-formatting, and get clean html when you're done.

Netscape doesn't support anything like this at the moment, as far as I know.
Theoretically everything IE is doing with this editor API should be doable
with a functioning DOM and some javascript.

Maybe. Convince me.

Really? That textarea is css'd to be 100% of width+height, so you shuold see
essentially a normal window.

I know that IE 5 mac doesn't have any ability to deal with those css
properties, but in my tests on IE 5.5+/win, the layout is fine.

Are you on IE 5.5+/win?

Yeah, as soon as I got going with it I saw the potential.

You can wholesale copy and paste other web content into that editable area,
too. There's so much you can do with it, woohoo!
