If you switch to "compatibility mode" (i.e., IE7 mode), the editor will actually work a lot better (still some glitches, but fairly usable). You can also click the "Toggle editor" checkbox below the edit window, and it will revert to a standard textarea (with no syntax highlighting). Another option is to switch from the default EditArea editor to the alternative Amy editor -- to do this, in /web2py/applications/admin/models/0.py, change: TEXT_EDITOR = 'edit_area' or 'amy' to TEXT_EDITOR = 'amy' Note, the Amy editor works in IE9, but not IE<9.
