[Mozile] Mozile 0.6.22.7 for Firefox 1.5 and up now available. BUG

[Max d'Ayala]

Hi Jon.

Unfortunately this is a known issue and is probably mentioned in the 
docs somewhere.

At the moment, the 0.6 Series will only work if the top editable element 
is a "div", or "body".

I'm not sure if Mozile has ever worked correctly for other elements.

There are two reasons for this. First, the appropriate logic has never 
been built into the eDOMXHTML.js code. So if you make a span editable 
you should be able to edit the text, but if you press return it will 
cause an error because it will treat the "span" as though it were a 
"div". i.e. It will (try to) split the text into two paragraphs.

I have no intention of writing the code for this in the near future, if 
at all.

The other way round this would be to use a different MES for editing 
spans and use the key override feature. Unfortunately, nobody has ever 
finished this part of the code - so it can't be done this way either. 
The main disadvantage with this method is that you wouldn't be able to 
edit a mixture of block level elements and inline elements, such as 
div's and span's, on the same page because you can only have one MES per 
page. There is a possibility that I may complete this part to get round 
the problems with the break element.

(Key overrides would work by specifying which command you want to be 
executed with a  key such as Enter and Tab. So for the Enter key you 
could either specify a command that did nothing, or possibly enter a 
break element instead.)

PS Do you have to set a preference or option to get the spacebar to page 
down?
