Hi

I've read the thread and will take a look at your project - I've very 
sucessfully used the textEdit in my medical records project so have quite a 
bit of experience fiddling with it.

Have you examined the underlying html it generates? It tends to be a bit 
weird. I seem to remember that when we save the html back to the database that 
Ian Haywood wrote some reg-ex expressions to strip some of the line feeds and 
associated crud.

Will try and find time to take a look.
