Done

I'll try another tack more appropriate for the mailing list.

I want to add a row of buttons between the title and textarea

I want to add 3 javascript handlers to the textarea. onClick, OnSelect 
and onKeyUp.

I can't see how to do this from javascript. Can you point me at an 
example. I've found a few for DOM modification that point me at a way to 
post the row of buttons by using getElementById and then insertBefore. 
That's going to be fairly messy getting from a php function to the 
javascript in 'post' to modifying the DOM to appearing on the screen. 
But probably do-able.

But I haven't been able to find anything that suggests how to add 
handlers to an existing node.

I suppose I could hide the whole shebang; Title, textarea, description 
and then recreate it all in 'post'. But the hook doesn't get all the 
parameters.
