Hi,

Can anyone suggest a way to have a rich-text edit box in an HTML form?

By rich text, I mean that the user must be able to use bold, underline and
italic (at a minimum), simply by clicking on a button.

Ideally, the user's input should be passed to the CGI script as if the user
had typed <b> etc., but I'd consider other solutions.

I do *not* want the user to see the HTML tags - in other words, a button
which simply adds <b> and </b> to the text in the input box is not good
enough. It has to be WYSIWYG.

I need a solution that will work on IE4+ on Windows.

Any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated, and sorry about the massive
cross-post :-).
