The nice thing about this page is that it uses frames, but not in a bad way.
I don't like frames either, but since one of these takes 100% of the screen,
and the other is invisible, it's nice. The not so nice thin about this way
of animating is that you can't insert it in a page like you can with a
textarea. You could offcourse write the rest of the page with it, but then
the whole page would be flashing, which would be really annoying.

very nice! I didn't think of that yet. I made a color version at:

Yes, but that's a problem that can't be solved, it already did that with
the textarea version.
