I was trying to install the Write Area Extension, but for some reason couldn't find it. Could you please help me locate it? In case that extension is no longer available, is the any other extension similar to the Write Area?

Thanks in advance.

I wasn't able to find the last description for the Write Area extension, but according to one page in Google cache:

"Turns textareas into HTML fields enabled by CKEditor. You can use a WYSIWYG editor with any old plain textarea."

Some relevant search terms for finding an alternative would be: textarea, CKEditor, WYSIWYG, or rich edit/editor/editing.

"Xinha Here!" is a close analogue. Though it has not been upgraded since 2010. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xinha-here/ The author of Write Area explained here why he's deleted the add-on. https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1000471101186335353&postID=3360784979201868786 If you do like it you can find and install a copy from the web, but use it at your own risk. http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Write-Area.shtml
