Yes...but. It seems a bit clumsy to have to use another application to edit the contents of a textarea, especially if you have to copy the existing text into the editor to start with. There would need to be a quick means of doing it. That said I sometimes use Edit to compose the text in case there's a problem with the web site and it gets lost. Also it gives me the option of trying another browser. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
