I did what you are looking using IFrames. I read the
article "Building a WYSIWYG HTML Editor":
http://www.devarticles.com/content.php?articleId=90&page=1
and I tuned my application by reading the discussion
forum he has in the article. After one day of setting
everything up I got a Great HMTL/text editor that now
I am using with all my developments (email, content
engine web applications, newsletters, etc)
