question for rich text style editor ...

a project i'm working on is a rich text editor for a website. i've seen ones on hotmail and yahoo, but i believe those are activex controls:
1) they don't work in pheonix/firebird/netscape
2) textarea's input's just don't behave that way.

does anyone know a good editor for download (purchase) that offers this kind of functionality ... or possibly how to tell where the cursor in the text box is and be able to insert something there. i wrote something but it works much like these forums and inserts tags at the end not where the cursor is.
