[TYPO3-dev] HTMLArea and IE7beta

[Andreas Balzer]

However..
All of the RTE's have negative and positive sides.. but someone should work 
on it, that one of these works in Typo3, without producing crap.. and it 
should be done fast, because i just installed the IE7 beta.. And the program 
is fine... but i can't deinstall it.. :-/

However.. I need to write articles in Typo3 and i don't want to write the 
HTML Codes every time.. Maybe i'm reinstalling windows if there is no other 
solution, but it wouldn't be the best way..
