Hi
I need to add text editor in my Text box. Does anybody have an idea...how can I do that. I think there is a text editor in Java...but I am not sure..
for example... I am typing text in this post.... I can edit this post as well...like I can make somethings bold, and some italics... and change fonts.
Please help.

Are you wanting WYSIWYG/RTF or some other plain text parsing that makes certain "tags" alter the output?
For the first: fckEditor and TinyMCE are popular.
For the latter: there are a multitude of bbcode parsing functions and classes out there search around.

you could always use BBCode (like these forums)
or some sort of cool ajax realtime form submission onKeyPress type thing
htmlarea is fine

Linky link.
I'd suggest going with BBCode. HTML parsing is a thorny issue.

Go to
http://www.google.com and type in either of the following terms...
TinyMCE
FCKEditor
These will do exactly what you want. HTMLArea is another decent app, but it is not supported anymore.
