I’m working on a new Content Management system for MacVillage.net. To enhance it’s capabilities, I am turning to Midas.
A perfect time to give a little edge to Mozilla users 🙂
I’ve been looking into this some info a bit. Sadly, there isn’t a ton of good documentation on it for a webmaster right now.
I have a basic HTML form right now. Can anyone provide some insight on how one could take a regular form (such as this forum here), and implement midas, so that the value sent to the server is the rich goodness of midas?
I’m pretty pretty much looking for a drop replacement for a text field in a HTML form. Note there should be a fallback to an equivalent, or plain text field for any browser that doesn’t support Midas.
Comments or Email is of course open.
I think this will be a nice reason for people to use Mozilla.

I’d look to MozBlog or the patched/not in CVS version of Composite.
You’ll have to swap the textarea out for an iframe no matter what I believe.
Hi,
you could use HTMLArea 3 which has drop-in support for Mozilla (using Midas) and for IE (using some proprietary IE stuff).
The URL is the following, I think:
http://www.interactivetools.co.....ase_P7101/
I have used it successfully in an existing project of mine.
Hope that helps.

Some time ago I’ve mode something like that. Using xbl to extend existing textareas.

But I haven’t really made it in something ‘finished’, and I suspect it is not working in all Mozilla versions.
