can't edit in Disqus text areas about emacs_chrome HOT 4 CLOSED

The reason at the moment it fails is because the text box on the page isn't a textarea:

<div id="comment" contenteditable="true" role="textarea" aria-multiline="true" style="font-family: arial; height: 100%; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; " class="placeholder">Type your comment here.</div>

It's the same reason you can't use it for Google+ text boxes at the moment. I have experimented with other options but I'm not sure if there is a safe way to identify arbitrary 's as being editable.

The implementation on that page seems to have added an keydown event catching to the node which catches the key events and then inserts the typed text into the DOM.

Ahh it seems that contenteditable is an HTML5 thing that should be consistent. However the process of retrieving and setting information is a little different than with textareas so I shall need to furtle around when I have a bit more time. However I think it is doable.

Hi Krishna,

I've just pushed some changes to the git repo which should fix this for you. Could you test and report back please?

Edit button, alt-enter, doubleclick all work; context menu produces an empty emacs buffer, which when submitted, dutifully clears the original textarea in the 'venturebeat' URL I provided above.

However, when trying to submit a comment on a Slashdot story (which looks similar to a Disqus area), the context menu works fine. Otherwise, it's working great -- very much appreciated. This is in Chrome 9 under Windows; I'm not sure if that's an issue.

Thanks!
Krishna
