It looks like a class project from a compsci assignment. Either this guy is completely ignorant of business basics, or he's praying to God that Google buys him up.

It says Safari not fully supported and then provides no functionality. When I spoof the page as Mozilla 1.1, I get partial functionality. The main problem at that point is that my editing window is a tiny vertical sliver about two characters wide. This looks like a CSS problem rather than a problem with contentEditable. I'm always suspicious of a page that works differently when you spoof as a different browser, because it means the developer is validating against user agent strings rather than against DOM objects or CSS elements. I wonder if the developer is working with the WebKit team, which is actively working on WYSIWYG editing functionality in Safari. If not, I hope they get on the horn and do so. Pretty lame.
