Text area w/ HTML view

Post by Mux »

Hello all,

I am new to web development, I normally work with databases and/or C++/Java.

I am making a site for a class, and one page consists of an email form.

The emails will be in HTML form. Right now it is simply a text area, and the user sees all the tags and whatnot.
How do you create a text area which does not show the tags, similar to this forum's posting text area. I would like buttons for bold, italic, underline, quote, text-alignment, images, etc. and have the text reflect these changes.

Any suggestions?

This forum doesn't use a rich text textarea. TinyMCE and fckeditor are two fairly popular rich edit solutions.
