Something about that: There are two possibilities for such an editor: 1. Use DHTML. This isn't cross-platform but it works (look for a demo of it in the developer mailinglist from Stefano Mazzocchi) for ie now. 2. Write your own Java application. I have written an XML editor as an applet (so, it's integrated with the browser) which is like XML Spy (based on XML schema, adding < shows context sensitive possible elements and so on). It's based on Swing. You can use a styled editor if you want to some kind of WYSIWYG. You can also write an html editor with swing but it's very simple and not nearly WYSIWYG.
>From my point of view, WYSIWYG is just an illusion with HTML. The pages differ from browser to browser, from version to version, from platform to platform.

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!!
