It's just a table with some pretty standard css and a graphic or 2. I thought this was going to be an app that remade a standard notepad app in html and had decent features.
Ha indeed... Started clicking around on it expecting to edit text, or turn a page, or SOMETHING... Started looking for javascript errors thinking Safari had crapped the bed, as it is prone to do from time to time.
sigh
Post things like this once they get interesting. ;)

I thought the same too. I made a plain-text note-taking/outlining app earlier this year ( http://bulletxt.zetabee.com/demo ) and have been interested in online text-editing ever since (SkyWriter, Google Docs, Etherpad etc.) For years, everyone relied on contentEditable and textarea for all major text editing. My app is still using textareas but it uses a series of them, transparent to the user. SkyWriter/Bespin use canvas. I was kinda hoping this link was about making one in pure HTML5 and CSS.
Several years ago, I did a website for a Poet who works on a manual typewriter using sheets of lined paper ripped from a notebook. I as tasked with recreating the visual feeling of the pages in HTML/CSS, including the fact that texted would be deleted by overtyping "X"'s

I did say it was nothing fancy in the first few lines though ;)
It twinges some school nostalgia for me.
