The code from the popup is below.  The javascript -- not included -- copies text
from a web page and places it in a textarea for editing and then posting.  I can
type words and delete characters but can't use the arrow keys to navigate.  I
also can't paste text from the clipboard.

News Story</a>

Al Qaeda has recently set up several new training camps in eastern Afghanistan
near the border with Pakistan, the head of a United Nations group monitoring the
flow of money to the network said on Tuesday.

&quot;A large number of al Qaeda operatives and others trained by al Qaeda
remain at large,&quot; said Michael Chandler, who heads the U.N. group, which
tracks financing links with al Qaeda.

&quot;Adherents continue to join their ranks and it continues to develop
alliances with national or regional extremist groups bent on using terror as
their means to their objectives.&quot;

The U.N. group said a number of new training camps were recently activated, near
the Pakistan border.

Chandler told reporters the unspecified number of camps were located in a
region, near the Khyber Pass.

However, a U.S. official told Reuters there was no evidence of any new camps.


&quot;I don't know of any al Qaeda camps being reactivated,&quot; said the
official, who asked not to be identified.

The U.N. report cited the recent bombings aimed at tourists in Bali, Indonesia
and Mombasa, Kenya as evidence of al Qaeda's wide reach and the existence of a
coalition of extremist groups in Southeast Asia and East Africa.
