msword-like textarea?

[Bei]

Instead of asp:textarea, does aspx have a built-in control that is a
textarea but works like a mini-msword with bold/italic function?

If it has, can the result be saved to sql server and then display it again
without problem?

Thanks

[Bei]

I figure out how to make an editable div. But now how can I submit the
content of the div as a field of the form?

Thanks

You can save the content in DIV to a hidden input control.

By the way, with .Net framework 1.1, you need to set ValidateRequest="false"
in config file or on page, or the HTML tags will cause error.
