[Bodington-developers] New Style Creation Pages

[Matthew B. <mat...@co...>]

I noticed that at the moment if anyone visits the new style creation 
pages and has JavaScript turned off then then help items cannot be 
expanded. Would it not be a better default state to have them expanded 
and only collapse them for people who have JavaScript turned on?

This would be similar to the way the left hand frame works.

In other news I am going to push in the HTML editing widget. As this 
will change the creation templates I'll give a quick summary here.

Rather than editing all the templates to support a particular HTML 
editing widget I added some JavaScript that looks for all <textarea> 
tags in the current document and if it find one then it adds the editing 
widget button. This way only people who have JavaScript enabled will see 
the editing button, it should also make it easy to add support for other 
editors at a later date.

Because XML parsers collapse empty tags I also added support to 
XmlTemplate for <textarea> tags so that whenever it encounters one it 
processes it specially (keeping <textarea></textarea> rather than 
converting it to <textarea/>).

I'll probably merge the JavaScript include used by the new style 
templates with my JavaScript stuff for the editing widget.
