mindstorm8191	Jay, I know you're a busy guy and I don't mean to dump more work onto you, but I have an idea which could help improve the site a little bit: have an option to enlarge the text boxes, similar to how the image thumbnails work. Personally I find it hard to want to read a load of code in a small box, and it would be much easier to follow if I could see more of it on the screen. Just my two cents. What do you think? -=-=- Vesuvius web game

Jayenkai	Bloody browser differences! Chrome and Safari already have little draggable resizers on all Text Area boxes, which I've gotten used to using a LOT!!.. but apparently others don't.. Gimme a couple of days to get my sprite thingumy going, then I'll give it a whirl. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	You could also use CodeMirror for a code box. Just offer JavaScript highlighting and it'll be enough to match most code (or at least to make it look pretty).
