Better Browsers for Text & Form Handling?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 24, 2003 @09:30AM from the text-editor+browser==emacs-minus-kitchen-sink dept.

Dan Warne asks: "I work as a web content administrator for one of the big newspapers in Australia. The front end of our content manager is browser-form based. Yet browsers all have horrible text editing features; neither Mozilla nor IE support search-and-replace, something desperately needed for anyone who works with a lot of form content. Aside from using a standalone text editor, what software out there provides a better browser-based solution for people who work with text in web forms a lot?"

Alright, so I'm a reactionary dinosaur!
Right now, I'm writing this with `vim`, having hit ^Xe in the textbox that `lynx` opened up. I have all the unimaginable power of vim at my disposal. :)
