I'm needing to make a Web GUI to allow someone to write some text, apply very basic formatting to it (bold, italics, add a link...that's it), and submit the tagged text to a form. (Sort of like blog GUIs).
Are there any (free) pre-made applets for the GUI part (I'll be parsing and manipulating the resulting text via PHP) out there? I'm not readily finding any. I would assume they'd likely be javascript, maybe Flash.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Liam

Something a little more basic and lightweight then the above that you could try out http://php-login-script.com/taeditor/demo.htm :)

Oh, these are fantastic!!
TinyMCE is amazing, but indeed WAY too big for the needs of this project.
TAEditor is pretty much exactly right! And interestingly, it's going to be going on our site hosted be Elief. Thanks. :)
The Yahoo one seems cool, but also more than I need right now.
Thanks for the suggestions!
