True, so I'm re-posting my answer here too :)

Yeah, it looks very cool! The technology behind it is just the same as
we already have in the original RTE that comes with TYPO3 core. It uses
document.execCommand, which is IE-specific, which is why it won't work
on any other platform (just like "rte" in TYPO3).

The only difference in TYPO3 RTE is that the edit area always has a
"backend" look (white background, 1px black border, always the same
width/height), while in editland the RTE is styled the same way as the
site (and without a border), so you get a feeling as if you are working
directly on the site.

I think porting such a functionality to TYPO3 (for the original RTE)
shouldn't be that difficult. But no, I won't do it.  :)


Cheers,
