I've spent most of the last two weeks working through the
frustrating details of insertion point and white space handling. This
requires bridging the totally different Range and Selection systems
used in Mozilla and IE, and accounting for many of the subtle
differences between the Gecko and Trident layout engines. After many
painful hours, I'd say the code is pretty solid now, but I'd like a
second opinion. Please browse on over and try it out:
http://mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/demo/basic.html
Key differences to watch for:
- You can now move the cursor between image elements in Mozilla.
- New empty blocks (p, li) should be created and rendered correctly.
- The cursor should only move into editable nodes, and not the white
space between nodes.
If there's any behaviour that doesn't meet your expectations of what
a rich text editor should do, let me know about it either on this
list or at irc://irc.freenode.net/#mozile
Many thanks,
James
