1424	"Delete / backspace next to ""Control"" elements should select that control, rather than deleting"	Scott McNaught		"When the cursor is placed next to (as IE puts it) a ""control"" element, such as an image or a table, it should select it on delete / backspace.

This improves the intuitiveness of deleting and makes sure people dont delete things accidently.

Here is a function partially implemented which does this

{{{
FCKListsLib.ControlElements = {'img':1, 'table':1, 'input':1};

// Helper function upon deleting a node that may be a control (must select it first)
// A control is something like an image or table which can be selected with the cursor
FCKEnterKey.prototype.HandleControlNodeSelect = function(pRange, bIsForward)
{
	// Check to see if we are about to delete an image or table
	// TODO: this is IE specific at the moment!
	if(FCKBrowserInfo.IsIE)
	{
		// TODO: this only works when a element is in a block
		var pStartBlock = pRange.StartBlock;

		if(pStartBlock)
		{
			var iDirection = bIsForward ? 0 : -1;
			var iOffset = pRange._Range.startOffset;
			var pPrevious = pStartBlock.childNodes[iOffset + iDirection];

			if(pPrevious && FCKListsLib.ControlElements[nodeGetTagName(pPrevious)] != null)
			{
				FCKSelection.SelectNode(pPrevious);
				return true;
			}
		}
	}
	
	return false;
}
