Hallo Nikolai,

vielen Dank für deine Mühe!

Der erste Eindruck ist sehr gut!
Ich habe keine gravierende Fehler festgestellt, allerdings die alten Templates kann ich nicht über die eingebaute Export-Import Funktion übernehmen, weil die im Text vorhandene Sonderzeichen werden zu "Hieroglyphen".

An sonsten alles Prima!

Thanks Nikolai!

The change to specify the input type seems very good.

My only problem is with 'JS updating easyvar fields in preview'

Here is my template (It is to create a page with a Simple Image Gallery and a column of text):
<div style="width: 68%; float: left;">{gallery}<easyvar>FOLDER</easyvar>{/gallery}</div>
<div style="width: 30%; float: left;"><p><easyvar>title=TEXT|type=textarea|cols=40|rows=10</easyvar></p></div>
<div class="clear"></div>

If the user posts a significant amount in the textarea, the preview gets very long and they have to scroll down to get back to the input fields.

I think they will find this confusing.

I have attached a picture of the easytemplate window after I posted a lot of text in the textarea. See the scrollbar?

I'm not sure what to suggest about this, the problem only occurs because I am putting a lot of text into a narrow column, probably not a common use for Easytemplate.
Is there a way I can disable the automatic update in the javascript?
