Text in Textareas
hi guys
I have lot of textarea boxes in my project where users would enter lot of text data.
The data can go up to 50 to 75 lines. I want the users to be able to format the data so i want to provide them with options like
Bold, Bullet points and Italics. Is there any open source code i can reuse to impliment this feature. The goal is to make the user
experience entering text in textareas easy and fun.
Any helpw will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

cool that was easy :) wonder why i dint find this before.
apart from this have you worked with or seen fancy textareas, by fancy i mean anything the user is attaracted to or likes to see. the reason i ask this is because i have like 20 text areas and if i put them
all one below the other the screen kinda looks boring. I want to make it more intresting.

If you talk about fancy looks than you're talking about skinning/styling components.
Like in: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/skins_styles.html and http://devgirl.org/2009/11/09/guide-to-skinning-your-flex-4-application-or-air-application/
You can of course use third party components too. Like eg. http://www.scalenine.com/gallery/

Just a question, if i use the RichTextEditor, will the formatting of the text remain when i retrieve the data?
I am using java in the backend to save the data and retrieve the data.
