Hurah for Electrix!

I found the Electrix plugin for Mozilla that allows you to define an external editor for editing HTML textareas. Basically, you just set editor in the Edit->Preferences->Electrix->Executable to invoke to /usr/bin/emacsclient (which is the default). Then just hit Ctrl-E in the textarea to load the text into emacs. Mozilla freezes while it’s waiting for the editor to finish. When you’re done editing the file, ‘C-x #’ prompts to save and quit editing the file. The text is then loaded into the Mozilla textarea for you to submit the form! A hearty “Thank You!” to Ben Peter.
