Basically I just want bold, italic, underline. Nothing complicated.
I’ve read from other questions or here that I should use contenteditable.
ie Basic javascript wysiwyg editor
but how do I do the bold, etc from selcted text in the contenteditable box?
I need the bold, etc buttons to by CSSable, so, if I can execute javascript to do bolding, underlining, etc, that would be preferred.
You’ll want to define an element as contentEditable. Then you can use execCommand to performs functions on the selected text within the contentEditable element. Documentation on this stuff is scarce… good luck 🙂
Of course you could use CKEditor or TinyMCE.
