[Mozile] Line-breaks and XML/XHTML

[James A. Overton]

	The problem is clear now that I can see the page. Block elements  
which are Mozile editors are not supposed to be split. This is the  
desired behaviour in most situations, I believe; you don't want to  
make changes to the container which holds the editable content.
	If you want to allow editor blocks to split, just comment out one  
line inside splitBlock():
if(mozile.isEditor(node)) return false;

There are problems with the cursor handling, which are very difficult  
to solve. In the newest development code for Mozile 0.8 we take an  
entirely different approach than in 0.7, and it's working better.

This is a bug with Mozilla's "Caret Browsing" mode, and I haven't  
found any way to work around it.

That's probably a bug with Mozile.

I don't know much about SpellBound, but it's designed to work inside  
text areas and such. It won't work with Mozile without modifications,  
probably very large modifications, and it might not be possible to  
make it work.
	There isn't any way I know of to do spell checking with Mozile at  
the current time. I've thought about how it could be done, but I  
haven't ever tried to make it work. Hopefully we'll get that feature  
some time. It's a major shortcoming.

	You might want to take a look at the new Mozile 0.8 version: http:// 
mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/index.html
	It's not finished, and editing XML might not work very well at this  
point. But that's where most of the current development effort is  
going. It works in Firefox 1.5 and IE 6 right now. There are big  
improvements to cursor handling, for example, and we're working on  
support for structured editing and validation using RelaxNG schemas.
	I think your approach to RDF editing is very interesting. Mozile 0.7  
might be able to do what you want, but you're pushing what the  
current version is designed to do.
