Rich text editor

[asp]

Hi!

I’m trying to make a form of a rich text editor. Yes it may sound a bit overvelming but I’m not trying to make the whole thing. My idea is that on a click of a button you’ll insert a <img src="" alt="" class="small" /> into your text field. Is this possible with jquery? If so, do anybody have an idea on how to do it.

I also have another problem, when you type something in a standard textbox and save it to a database dubble brakes like this:

Don’t appear. How can I solve this problem? At the moment I insert <p></p> by had but that’s not convenient. Does someone know how to fix these problems?

Thank you in advance. :D

I have also tryed to use "append" to the textfield, but it did not work. Is there any other way to add stuff (text) to a textfield?

Any reason you aren’t using something prebuilt?

For example:

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/
http://www.fckeditor.net/

My first thought was to use a prebuilt. But I didn’t like the design and it didn’t fit with my theme. I also like to keep it simple and make it from scratch. ;)

In the same way that growing your own wheat and processing it into food is "simpler" than buying a box of Cheerios? :roll:

Making from scratch is rarely simpler, quicker and cheaper than using an existing solution if that solution is of a good quality, open source and in common usage on the net.

In addition to the above I can recommend Yahoo! Rich Text Editor. It comes in several versions including a lightweight one and is fully skin-able, like all the YUI components, so you should be able to integrate it into your site.
