My suggestion is to use TinyMCE it is a great Rich Text Box. Yahoo also has a really great Rich Text Editor.

And the verdict is......it's brilliant! Very easy to use, and works with Macs too, which helps my colleagues out a great deal.

I should say, it was TinyMCE I was using.

These are not textareas, btw - they are IFRAMEs holding full HTML managed by the editor code. I also recommend FCKeditor - very configurable and easily integrated. You can write your code using textareas, make a javascript call and those textareas go hidden and the IFRAME gets injected in place. Upon submit the html gets copied back in the textarea. so really don't need to do much...
