A tool for DU-bloggers

[mogster]

I was tipped off by displacedtexan that there was a bloggers group here, and it turned out to be true? :P
I made this DU-o-matic code tool for easier handling of the DU codes, try it here. What I really was trying to make at first was a batch conversion tool for blogged text, like: put your blog-form text in the tool, then click convert and then out comes the text DU formatted. I ahd a post yesterday that could have been longer if there were such a tool available, because I would have to manually recreate all links in it in DU format.

Awright, nice to be here :-)

Makes it easier to use, to see how your post will look while writing it.

8. This tool is now updated for Mozilla firefox - bug fix

Before:
The writing text area scrolled back to top when you inserted code with one of the buttons or the fontcolor dropdown. In addition, the fontcolor dropdown stayed at the first color you chose, and if you needed more than one markings of that color, you had first to choose another color, then the color you wanted.

Now:
The writing text area stays at the place where you inserted the code, and the fontcolor dropdown rewinds back to zero when used, so you can easily add same color to multiple paragraphs or words.

In other words: The tool now behave the same way in ie and ff. And firefox users doesn't have to look for the place where they were writing if the post is long ...
