Isn't about time the damn web browsers give us a native rich edit control already, the way Tim Bernes-Lee first imagined the web content editing would be like? Then can we have a file upload control that can be styled and select multiple files?

> Isn't about time the damn web browsers give us a native rich edit control already, Modern WYSIWYG editors use an IFRAME with the property designMode="On". The problem that the actual editor solves is manipulating that. So browsers do have native rich edit already, it just needs to be summoned. > Then can we have a file upload control that can be styled and select multiple files? Agreed. Trying to create a usable file uploading interface is annoying, but there are some hacks to add Drag and Drop support and things. (Safari [Mac] supports D&D, not sure though about other platforms/browsers.)
