TinyMCE can add extra empty paragraphs when you insert text from Word. TinyMCE simply wraps each newline into paragraph.
To solve it you need to follow these steps:

1. Enable paste plugin.
2. Add handler for parsing inserted text

So your TinyMCE code will look like:

  tinyMCE.init({
        ...
      	plugins: "paste",
      	paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste : true,
      	paste_postprocess : function(pl, o) {
            // remove extra line breaks
            o.node.innerHTML = o.node.innerHTML.replace(/<p.*>\s*(<br>|&nbsp;)\s*<\/p>/ig, "");
        }
  });

Handy and pretty $('myform').request() can be easily broken if you have really broken HTML. For example:

<table>
<form id="myform">
  <input />
  <input />
  <tr><td></td></tr>
</table></form>

$('myform').serialize() will return empty string for such html. As a result you’ll have ajax request with no parameters, obviously not what you’ve expected. Fix html and everything will work.

You can make different dynamic text effects on your html page using JavaScript function document.getElementsByTagName(‘tag_name’). The idea is to select tag, which is absent in your html (for example:<tt>, <i>, <b> etc.). Then you should embrace all letters of your text with this tag. For example: “Hello world” transforms to “<tt>H</tt><tt>e</tt><tt>l</tt><tt>l</tt><tt>o</tt><tt> </tt><tt>W</tt><tt>o</tt><tt>r</tt>

<tt>l</tt><tt>d</tt>”. After that you can dynamically change style (color, font etc.) of every letter you want accessing to it during array document.getElementsByTagName(‘tt’).

So, you can create with your text such effects like burning, dissapearing, growing etc. Please, look at http://atuk.boloto.org/fire/ to get sample scripts.
