  9. JS Quicktags 1.3

    A new version of my JS Quicktags is now available. This release adds a very nice feature, the ability to attach the Quicktags to multiple textarea elements on a page. This is something I’d planned to add for ages, but never got around to doing so. Many thanks to Greg Heo for sending me his…
