I have used FCK editor and tinymce editor but wasn't impressed there customization options were really complicated and and fck editor had high over head I just want an editor that has simple text format no need for image support If I want image support I will create an image upload.

Does any one know of a textarea replacement that will help

Far more light weight, easy to custom the core (not really extendable though).

For what it's worth, I evaluated that one and stuck with TinyMCE. I've personally found TinyMCE to be very lightweight, easy to work with and customize, and reliable. When I needed it, I trimmed it down to just Bold, Italic, and Underline.

I know you said you tried and nixed it, but I've spent hours looking and couldn't find a textarea replacement lighter or faster.

Maybe if you are having any trouble customizing it I can help?

Good Luck, I'd love to know how openwebware works out for you.
