Better Browsers for Text & Form Handling?

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?"

  1. The punctuation nazi *HITS*! by leonbrooks · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ( ) Parentheses or round brackets
    < > Brokets or angle brackets (type &lt; &gt;)
    [ ] Brackets or square brackets
    { } Braces or curly brackets
    &laqou; &raquo; Guillemet, angle quotes or chevron brackets (real ones thoughtfully ripped by slash)
    I'm betting that you used brokets, as in <TEXTAREA>, but without escaping them, yes?
