hi joshua
indeed, goal 1 was the reason we went from <pre> to <textarea>
textarea is not the only solution, though
wait'll adrian posts his test page
goal 2 makes sense only if there's a purpose for having the code
highlighted
one such purpose might be to facilitate copy/paste
not all code is meant to be copied
highlighting doesn't really hurt, though
