Does anyone know how people make the text boxes for WYSIWYG editors?

I imagine its not your standard <textarea> tag, but if it is not what is it?

I understand how to change the HTML of a document. But I dont understand how the WYSIWYG editor is like a normal <div> </div> area etc, but it still allows the user to enter text?

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Its like I could build it if I used the <textarea> for user input and the <div></div> area for the display.

But I dont understand how these things are like combined into a single textarea?

Try the FCK editor (http://www.fckeditor.net/) or HTMLArea (http://www.htmlarea.com/).

You can also take the above as a suggestion to examine existing code to learn what is involved in doing this. Explaining with enough detail to do you any good, is beyond the scope of forum posting.

What I ment was I wanted to code my own, or use something like a class to make one. Not just download someone elses WYSIWYG editor.

Anyways I have found something called execCommand.

But there is a problem with the link and image insertion. It works fine but when I save the data to a file and then reopen it in the editor it adds the web URL again.

Example.

Web URL in Editor: http://www.domain.com
Save it to the file: http://www.domain.com
Re-open the file in the editor: http://www.domain.com/"http://www.domain.com
Re-save it to file: http://www.domain.com/"http://www.domain.com

Do you get what I mean, it works fine the first time but when it gets re-opened it adds the URL to the front of the link again.

It also does the same with an image.

Web URL in Editor: /path/image.jpg
Save it to the file: /path/image.jpg
Re-open the file in the editor: http://www.domain.com/"/path/image.jpg
Re-save it to file: http://www.domain.com/"/path/image.jpg

Its really annoying, any ideas how to fix it?

Like could I use str.replace or something?
