WYSWIYG's are buggy and imperfect in Firefox and IE as well. The real problem is the "newest" html specification is 9 years old, the one for JavaScript is 8 years old and CSS is 9 years old.The languages have stagnated and support for them moves millimetres at a time.
lolMost of the problems you guys have mentioned are due to the management at Peepel (ie: one dude) not listening to their (his) staffI'd like to say that the senior 2 developers (the only 2 with buckleys of organising future development) are no longer on the project - so it's likely to stagnate.Good luck Peepel lol... expect to see better things from other companies soon folks.

Try using a supported browser, Firefox seems to be the go.

actually, I thought the latest versions of Opera and Safari both supported the designMode/contentEditable API.

@fkr3you sound like a Microsoft fanboy with a lot of pseudo-knowledge, but very little intelligence. Please stay away from the keyboard. Kthxbye
