Cool coding, I suppose.
But I hate the insert key :D
You've got to ditch Lycos as your host :) The popups are killing me.
ddadmin: Yeah, I hate that too, that's why I use adblock plus.;) What shall I use then?(Instead of lycos)
drj33: Thanks. :)
What does the insert key do anyway? 10 or so years I have had a keyboard near me and I think I have pressed it once. That once was an accident as well. ROTF.
If your not using php, you can try geocities freehosting.
If you want ad free for cheap you can try site5.com or search ebay. :D
BLiZZaRD: The insert key simply replaces the character which lies after the cursor position.
OHHH the over-write, instead of adding-to.. gotcha!
Regarding free hosting, I would consider free blog hosts, which is where the quality ones are right now it seems. You can try searching Google, though the most well known is http://www.blogger.com/ I think Wordpress also offers free blog hosting.
BLiZZaRD: Yep, you can see an online demo here: http://captninsano.tripod.com/insertextarea.html
ddadmin: Thanks. :) By the way does this work on all browsers?(not tested yet)
Mozilla, yes. I can test safari later if needed. (and IE, but surely someone has done that)
My question-- does this relate to the actual setting of the insert key, or is it based on pressing it while in the box. If it's based on pressing while in the box, then that could be the opposite of the actual setting, like in Word, so you'd go back and forth and it would be split. Just a random though. Likely a rare issue to be a problem.
