Hi

We have recently deployed an in-house built content management system 
which has been a big success.

Currently however content providers have to know some HTML if they want to 
create anything more than a basic page.

So there is a need for me to introduce some sort of simple, embedded HTML 
editor which could maybe wrap round a form field and provide buttons for 
bold, italic, ordered and unordered lists and maybe tables too.

I have seen such a system on www.qxl.com, the auction site, which is 
available when you are creating an auction. I believe this is written in 
javascript.

I was wondering if anyone could advise if there is a good, preferably free 
HTML editor out there that I could implement. Do you know if there is a 
windows component or other active x control or a javascript class that 
will do the job or would it be worth writing one from scratch?

Any help with this would be most appreciated.

Regards
Michael

Forgot to mention the platform in use is Win 2K server using ASP 3.0 with 
COM+ components containing the majority of application logic.

	Check out: http://www.YusASP.com
	Or search on pscode.com in the asp, javascript category for:
Web-based Content Editor

	Also,

	I am in the process of writing a COntent Management system.....
maybe you can share with us the idea or flow used in your CMS?

	Thanks
