    Default Formatted text input

    My site has a very basic admin area, with text boxes in a form to add data to
    the database.

    However, I have to enter the text with all the html formatting to make words
    bold, create line breaks etc.

    How can I get a box to automatically enter the html formatting in the
    database? A bit like posting here!

    Thanks in anticipation,

    Ben

    You will just need to embed some of the free or paid HTML-editors with your
    <textarea> form tag. Check the link:


    [url]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itools-htmlarea/HTMLArea-3.0-rc1.zip?download[/url]

    The downloaded files has a documentation on how to use the editor in your
    pages.
