I hear Sfari 1.3 has some sort of bare basic on screen html editing. Has anyone seen an example of this yet ???

This is support for designMode and contentEditable rather than something like Mozilla Composer, which I think you're thinking of.

Basically, instead of an <input type="text" /> you can go <div contentEditable="true">Hello</div>, which can better suite your needs semantically in certain cases. It also allows us web developers to make better web applications (obviously, a lot of us have been using this for a while with other browsers, but it's great to be in Safari too).

Something else that I haven't seen noted is the support for -khtml-user-modify, which, when set to read-write, amounts to the same thing as contentEditable. It's nice to have the feature as part of the style sheet and not adding extra attributes to your markup. Handling it via script makes that point null and void, but it's all about principal

hmm, well I for or less thought it was just text editing on the screen, no chance for image moving. I have seen text editing in Mozilla before never could do much with it but it was a neat start.

Now something like Taco HTML edit or a live preview code editing app might start to use this and THAT would be something cool..

There already is a live-preview code editing app.

Simple stupid feature, but that is what I thought this new html feature in webkit was.

NOTE: not to move images or anything just text..

uses the Safari engine to render the code - also support for PHP etc + code hinting (kind of…)

don't know about Safari doing it though.
