I'm somewhat new to Javascript, not HTML/CSS or PHP/MySQL, just JS. I have a quick question. If I were to try to make my own RTE Text editor for a system that I'm building, does anyone know where I would start out? Books, tutorials, whatever is fine. Thanks.

Don't re-invent the wheel.
Building a rich-text editor is a lot of work, and making it work in most browsers is even more work.
Instead, you should go with an existing option, such as CKEditor or TinyMCE.
If you want a learning exercise, I recommend starting with something simpler.

I tried a few years ago, and SLaks is right.

I checked out CKEditor, I like it. I've been using TInyMCE, but there's some things I want to do with my system but cant. I'll take a looksy at CKEditor. Thanks.

The Google Closure library has a great rich text editor. Here is a demo.
