Hello fellow wiki developers.
Do you remember how inconvenient it is to look for the right spot to edit after going to the page's editor? That's one reason for section editing, right? (Sure, there are more, like avoiding edit conflicts.)
Well, one more user recently complained about it, and I decided to try and solve it the "obvious" way, with some javascript that scrolls the textarea to the right line. Surprisingly, it seems to be actually working, and it can be adapted to work in many different wiki engines.
I described my approach at http://wiki.sheep.art.pl/Textarea%20Scrolling -- it's designed for the plain old textareas. I'm sure it would be even easier to do with javascript-based editors, using the scrollIntoView() method, but I didn't try that, and it would be probably specific to a particular editor.
I just thought it might be handy.
