So... *W*hat *Y*ou *S*ee "*I*sn't" *W*hat *Y*ou *G*et. It's unfortunate, but this is actually down to a fairly major limitation in the AllowEditable functionality of Mozilla browsers, meaning they all need to put the content in to an iFrame. Mark has perhaps slightly over stated what I've done with the editor to try and solve this issue because I think it's more likely that the vendors don't see it as an issue. I hope the TinyMCE developers will work on the problem of making what you see when editing more like the end result when the content is in the page. We have a few more ideas and tricks up our sleeves to further improve the editing experience, and, with any SimpleWeb, all of our existing customers will get this update for free.
