    Ugh. Do you ever use those RTEs? I always turn it off in WordPress installations and in GMail. Haven't used an RTE that felt natural and didn't get in the way of my uber, leet, superior Web-Bling 2.0 HTML skillz. Then again, I'd edit Word documents at the markup level if I could... :~ regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

    Yeah, speaking of that - what's the word on allowing HTML in your blog comments? You just don't realize how limiting it is to have to harass you in plain text...

                      Are you laughing because my story about being on the phone with a girl seems completely implausible? Or are you laughing because boredom is the only thing that can defeat my procrastination abilities? ;P

                        Obviously, we need some sort of combined David Wulff / David Stone to produce a slick forum system written in C# w/ LINQ and an AJAX-heavy UI w/ plenty of keyboard shortcuts and RTE.

                            I have a small site with a blog-like feature on the front page. It is unique in that each post contains the exact same table structure, the only difference being the number of rows. So, I am able to use a template to insert the table for me, and then I just add contents to the table like I would in a Word doc. It (the editor) has an image picker that allows me to upload pictures straight to the server. It saves me a bunch of time vs hand editing and uploading pics via FTP. For any situation other than that, though, I'd have to go with a plain text box and HTML or BBCode. Jon Sagara When I grow up, I'm changing my name to Joe Kickass! My Site | My Blog | My Articles

                                      I went there to play in a rock & roll band after I quit my first semester of college in '76. We gigged in Morgan City, Thibodaux, Houma, all those big nationally known hot spots. We drove up to New Orleans to party in the Quarter, but didn't play there. My memory of the girls there is that they were amazingly binary. Either they were drop dead ugly or there was something almost magical about them (I naturally gravitated towards the latter). There was no in between. And yeah, Morgan City is about as far south as you can go without being eaten alive by dragons. Or shot by drunk off shore oil workers, but that's a story for another time... ;) Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes

                                        May 25, 2006 is the version in my script.  Is that the latest? (Yes, I have used it, and it's a nice piece of work.)

                                          Thanks. :) Anything you'd like to see done to it?
