Mozilla has “rich editing” in latest release

Mozilla version 1.3 has been released, this is the first stable version to include the Midas rich editing component. This brings the editing functionality of the Mozilla Composer and embeds it in a web page. Internet Explorer has had this functionality for a while, however like the Mozilla implementation the standard of the HTML generated is not optimal. This is an encouraging step for Mozilla to take, as this feature is refined and produces better HTML adoption as the front end of some open source publishing systems is likely to happen at a reasonable pace.

Love that splash screen. Yes mozilla has replaced its little dragon image with a solid orange splash screen, lovely. If on the other hand you prefer a nicer splash screen simply create a bitmap image file, call it “mozilla.bmp” and place it in the same directory as the Mozilla application.
Here’s one I prepared earlier:

The latest alternate Mozilla startup splash screen

My original splash screens for the Mozilla 1.0 release, which this latest splash is based on, are available in my weblog archives.
