Javascript WYSIWYG DHTML Editors
There are a number of JavaScript based code libraries becoming available on the Internet to allow developers to easily add WYSIWYG editor capabilities to their web pages. These editors work pretty much the same as a normal desktop editor like Word but they operate completely within the web browser and purely use JavaScript to provide the required functionality. In addition they support multiple browsers. The latest one I have seen is TinyMCE that provides support for all major browsers and is pretty easy use. So if you are a developer and require users to enter formatted text then stop forcing your users to learn either HTML or a Wiki-style syntax and use a JavaScript based editor.
