>How to create a "textarea" that has bold, italic and all the formating >stuff?
That's not possible of course. HTML textareas don't support formatting. The formatting will have to be addressed by HTML tags, unless the textarea is replaced with an Applet or a Java Web Start Application, like the demo rtf editor >That (web)application is a Java application or a form web? It's a true Java Application! It doesn't run in a broiwser. Check out the Sun website, install the SDK and run the demos. There's a nice RTF editor you might like!!
