Although Rich Text editing was expected to come in the next version of Safari (in Tiger), Apple has included it in the latest update available for Panther (it’s in the 10.3.9 update). Rich Text editing allows you to make things bold, italic, change colors, sizes and even drag and drop images – right in your browser.
Apple has chosen a Microsoft de facto standard called contentEditable instead of the Mozilla’s Midas technology. So far, this release does not work out of the box with available Rich Text browser editors and it’s lack of documentation will keep it that way for a while.
To see a working demo of the available features surf over to the All Forces Blog (with Safari) and check out the demo embedded right in the story. Hopefully, Tiger will shed some light on this promising and much needed feature.
