Mozilla and Radio Userland should go together like peanut butter and jelly. But editing in Mozilla has been pretty ugly - no fancy WYSIWYG editor like they have on IE. I have tested out Composite several times, but it went through a period when it was pretty broken, and I lost interest in it. The Midas project got my attention, and when I read recently that it worked in recent builds of Mozilla, I figured it was time to give it a try. In my implementation, I am transferring the contents of the Midas iframe to and from the server using a hidden textarea and some javascript.  I just posted some files to the gems folder that explain how I got Midas working with Radio Userland. You should use a recent Mozilla build - I'm using 1.3b 20030204. Here are the files:
I wish I knew of an easier way to package them for Radio Userland consumption... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
