Text Formatting Toolbar - For Squidoo Lenses

Ranked #228 in Squidoo Community, #32,895 overall

Note: This is Just for FireFox

It supports three formats: BBcode (bulletin board) like used on SquidU, HTML, and the format used by Wikipedia.

Made by Codefisher.org

Not all the buttons work within a Squidoo text box, below I have examples of the ones that do work

Note: This is just for FireFox

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. ~Henry L. Doherty

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. ~Thomas Szasz

Thank you, Jeffry--I, too, downloaded a Firefox-Mac 9.1 version from Mozilla. It works great!

This will definitely be a tremendous time saver for me! Moments later… I just clicked on it and got the message that it's incompatible with Firefox 9.1(Mac) and cannot be installed. (Sob!) Clicked on the Codefisher link too, hoping for an updated version I could use. Great lens on amazing tool. Just wish I could use it.

Please tell me what to do. I have downloaded the toolbar, it seems to work fine when I am using it, but when I am done the 'code' shows and NO changes. After Publishing no changes either, just ugly HTML code. Please help. Thanks.

Darn, the text formatting toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 9. Hopefully it will be updated soon.

Finally I find this again! I had it downloaded on my other computer before a worm ate my hard drive. ( I am glad I have Buddhist tendencies and know that all is temporal in this world of form. Yikes - I am trying Carbonite now, my computer guy said that there was not a virus protector made that could protect me from that worm - it was probably an attempt by the Russian mafia to harvest credit card numbers.) Anyway - this is so helpful to me as I don't know much about html. I have bookmarked this very helpful information.

Thanks for this. I have seen other lenses that have bolded or italicized text and wondered how they did it. Thanks again.

Loved this in the past, but I'm wondering if there's an update. I'm now using Foxfire 8.0. Thanks

This apparently doesn't work with Firefox 7. :(
I installed write area - but I can't find it - even after restart.
What do I do?
