A client wants to be able to format his own text as he enters it in.  

e.g. bold, underline, fontsize, etc.



I was thinking that one way to facilitate him would be to offer text 

boxes to enter the text and a few check boxes  beside it for  . bold, 

underline, fontsize, etc.

I would use a Case statement then to build the tags around the code.

Does this method sound okay or is there  an easier way of doing it?

well...some value form over substance as I'm often confronted with as well.

I think with plain HTML + client side script your approach is pretty

reasonable, should you be in an Intranet environment - given enough ActiveX

one could use an rich-text-box control.

 

Cheers,
