I want to create simple html editor using javascript.
This is not a rich text editor.

All i want to do is a textarea display with syntax highlighting, find, goto line number and a word wrap option.

It must work in IE and Mozilla/firebird.

Plz anyone help me. Its urgent.

Unfortunately you won't be able to do any syntax highlighting in a simple text area. For all your other features, I'd suggest looking at the javascript used in the topic post input box on these forums. There is some pretty good javascript code that does all sorts of nifty things. This forum engine is open source, so you could download it and take a look at the source code. Of course, all the javascript is easily visible without downloading all the source.

If it's urgent I suggest you buy a component. The features you ask for are fairly complicated, especially as you want it to work cross browser. If you knew dhtml well I would make a guess that this is at least a two man week development project. Parsing input and deciding whether to highlight is hard work. You would have to distinguish between:
and
and
Good luck.

The post input box on this forum system is not a rich text editor. It's a standard textarea input with some very clever javascripting.

And like I said, if you want to use a textarea, you can't highlight individual lines/words.
