Saw another post regarding this extension by another user, But I replied to his thread on accident. NOt this one. This is the isntructions I followed (in the O/P’s post). Here is my response:

Well, after using this since I found it here, I’m back to using the no plug in method.

This edit area plugin bogs the whole browser down, and eventually slows the process down so much I have to stop typing to let the plugin keep up. It slows down so badly that i end up with many mistakes because it was busy and did not catch my keystrokes.

I had my business partner test it and it was much worse for him. I’ve got a very powerful machine with 4GB of RAM and even then it just bogged ie and FF down.

Shame too, I like the look of this.

typical, i find this as soon as i finish playing with all the templates

will be using this from here on out!

I’ve made little update of the script. Check details in the top of this thread.

Hi

I am having a problem with this plugin where when I update a template the cursor re-appears at random positions. Also when I initially load up the code it starts at the bottom of the script. Is there something I can do to remedy this?

This is incredible will try it on a dev site. I was dreaming of this. Can’t wait. A big thanks for this one!

Can anyone help with the question I posted above?

It depends on settings. Better to ask author of the EditArea script.
