a function to check if a certain element is scrollable, but is NOT showing scrollbars. Useful to use as a test for when you might want to implement another scrolling solution, such as iScroll for iPad.
var isItScrollableWithoutVisibleScrollbars = function(el) {
if (el === null) {
return false;
}
var isScrollable = false;
var hasScrollbars = false;
// first, lets find out if it has scrollable content
isScrollable = el.scrollHeight > el.offsetHeight ? true : false;
// if it's scrollable, let's see if it likely has scrollbars
if (isScrollable) {

Text editors

in General purpose text/code editors. It may be better to have a good editor for everything, than different ones for different languages, scripts, notes.
