I love my mac, so I don't want to leave it behind! You mentioned creating a cache of the selection and then after focus is lost, "recreating" the selection... Do you mind sharing how you actually acquire the selection, and reselect it? Mostly I need help finding the current selection to cache, after that I should be able to call selectNode() or selectNodeContents() or some method like that...

If YUI RTE could support this feature, it would have everything I am currently using from TinyMCE. I started looking at editor-beta-debug.js and honestly I'm not sure where to start changing code to support this. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a simple, medium, or hard thing to code? Any plans for support of this on your end? Thanks for a great RTE! TinyMCE will not allow users to edit anything within contenteditable=”false” container element.

Great Job! I started adding support for Safari 2 to the <a href="http://dev.wymeditor.org/wymeditor/branches/new_parser/built_upon_external_css.html" rel="nofollow">WYMeditor old demo</a>, and I know how painful it is. I managed to fix Iframe Focus, Selection Object and added a work around execCommand limitations, pretty much the same as you did. But it still far from A-Grade. Is there a public development repository for the source code? I would like to follow this editor development. I tried source forge, but no luck. Did you code a selection API for this editor? You might want to have a look at WYMeditor, specially the XHTML parser in the trunk, which plays beautifully when pasting from MS Word and for cleaning up design mode garbage. Dav, first of all. Great Job!

Besides the YUI Editor is only 22k when it is minimized and gzipped. What browser and os are you using that is not responding?

I have v2.0.0.6 on the mac, and after testing YUI RTE on Safari, FF and IE 6(win), FF was the most unusable with the insert position being lost each time the tool bar is clicked. This was from the YUI examples site, I have yet to install it locally, but is this known or am I the one goofed up? What version of FF do you develop on?
