Traumwind - Ed Tech Dev: Rich-Text Editing in Mozilla (and IE)

This article from Netscape DevEdge introduces web developers to Midas, a rich-text editing feature supported in Mozilla 1.3. For example you can harmlessly vandalize any webpage by entering this in your browser's url box:
javascript:(function(){document.designMode="on";})()
(or click here to edit this webpage). But note that edit mode will stay on until you close the browser tab or window. The article has demos, as well as a link to Kevin Roth's Cross-Browser Rich Text Editor that works in both Mozilla 1.3+ and Internet Explorer 5+.
