There have been discussions about how to resurrect that section of the site, so it's on our radar. Hopefully with the transition of the new owner it will spark some interest.

Doubtful, source?

Thanks Giz and Req.

Something like this (not mine)? http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/n4mKw/ HTML5/CSS3 may have a better way to do this.

This comes up time and time again, usually about once a year. The issue is that, as ignace pointed out, people are busy and honestly there is no incentive to pursue such a revamp. Another issue is the owner, he's basically non-existent even when everything is falling apart.

I generally don't mind code completion especially for XSL which I deal with on a daily basis.

A lot of bigger IDEs have plugins that support (S)FTP.

Do it.

Yes, that has already been pointed out in the initial post. I think everyone saying "why reinvent the wheel", including myself, are referring to people that are using raw JS for those reasons.

Because, it creates un-needed overhead when selecting * and if your table changes in the future, you will be selecting un-expected data. There are other reasons, but these are the primary ones.

FZ has been mentioned probably 10 times so far.

Agree 100%. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel, not to mention the built in cross browser compatibility of most JS frameworks.

That would be Apache, not PHP.
