Just open one window with the editor and maximize it (as long as there are no frames) and open a new window to perform all the research (or drag&drop the existing editor tab to its own window)<br /><br />With regards to those special entities, can you paste here which ones are you talking about?<br />Can you check if your CMS is using UTF-8 or an ascii encoding like iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15?<br />(look at Firefox button, Web developer, character encoding or View, character encoding)Alfonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445103211507263059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000471101186335353.post-9435933986788419722011-10-15T00:44:34.007+02:002011-10-15T00:44:34.007+02:00First of all, thank you for all the hard work you&...First of all, thank you for all the hard work you've put into make this free and useful utility. <br /><br />Our copy editor uses Write Area to format text in our primitive CMS entry page. She preferred the pop up option for two reasons. First, she wears glasses and has to increase the zoom level on all pages. She was able to increase the size of the window as needed and it didn't affect elements on other pages. Second, the entry page is built using frames. I know that's an ancient approach but we can't change it. The modal window option has problems with scrolling and resizing in a zoomed frame.<br /><br />A common task is to build a page using links from many articles. Having a separate window allowed Write Area to function like a standalone application while switching between tabs in the primary Firefox.<br /><br />I'd like to use the opportunity to bring up a separate but long-standing issue. When we use em-dashes or directional apostrophes or quotes, they are not correctly translated when saving. I came up with a utility that converts those to html entities before pasting into the textarea. Unfortunately, Write Area takes those entities and converts them back to the original characters. Is it possible to add a feature to "Convert high characters to entities"?<br /><br />Again, thanks for making this and keeping it up to date for so long. It's effective and useful.<br /><br />-Joshua Curry<br />Charleston City Paperlucidbeaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594447539528845822noreply@blogger.com
