    Default Creating WYSWIG Editor for TextArea

    As part of an application I am buidling, there is an html based email client.
    The from, to and cc fields are just text fields with which the user can enter
    email addresses. However, the body field is a text area in which the user can
    free form text. Is there any way to make this text area wsysig as in the text
    editor seen in eBay? This way they can click on a menu bar above the text area
    to format their text with unerline, bolding, etc.

    I have a screenshot of what i am trying to describe
    here:[url]http://myoldchevy.com/texteditor.jpg[/url]

    I am using CF 5. Has anyone attempted anything like this?
