It might be because execCommand() is a proprietary, IE-only feature. Not
sure how it would've worked in FF unless you were using a different
implementation at the time...


I developed it all the time thinking towards Firefox and using an article I
found at Mozilla WebDev about
Midas<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Rich-Text_Editing_in_Mozilla>.
I really can't find an explanation but it's driving me nuts.

Okay, I write together a "usecase", more details hopefully coming later.

I want to write a post on my blog containing a few code snippets.
Something about jQuery. So I start with a few paragraphs of text, maybe
adding a bit bold text here and there, or a few subheadlines. Now comes
the first HTML snippet I want to present. I copy a bit of HTML from a
demo page, and insert it as escaped HTML into the page. Here the editor
has to present a one- or two-click approach of inserting this:
<pre><code class="html">(pasted, escaped html)</code></pre>.
A few lines later I want to insert a bit JavaScript, no escaping
neccessary, but I want to have the correct pre/code tags around it:
<pre><code class="javascript">(pasted js)<code></pre>.
Another few lines later I have some inline Javascript, somewhere in a
sentence: <code class="javascript">(pasted js)</code>.

I wouldn't mind configuring support for JS and other languages I'd like
to use, but at least the HTML support with escaping must be built-in.

The actualy syntax-highlighting on the code elements (according to the
given class) is done by the excellent Chili plugin
(http://www.mondotondo.com/aercolino/noteslog/?cat=8).
