Ok, I am making a application for my web site, and I am trying to decided what is best to do...

Should I use textareas, or a WYSIWYG editor...

The thing is, I am having problems doing eighter one...

textarea- The text area is very easy to start with, a simple tag. But what I want to do is add buttons to the form to allow code to be added (EX: click on BOLD to get <b></b> printed on the textarea). I know this involves Javascript but I don't know to do it.

WYSIWYG- With this, I avoide the problem befor stated... But the problem with this is I don't know how to add it so it can be used in place of the textarea.

If anyone could give me help on it I would sure apreciate it.

Take a look at htmlArea from interactivetools.com - go to http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/ - for a free and easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor.

Forget the WYSIWYG...

Does anyone know how to do the other idea (javascript to add code to the textarea)?
