msword-like textarea?

Bei
Instead of asp:textarea, does aspx have a built-in control that is a
textarea but works like a mini-msword with bold/italic function?

If it has, can the result be saved to sql server and then display it again
without problem?

Thanks

I figure out how to make an editable div. But now how can I submit the
content of the div as a field of the form?

Thanks

There isn't one built-in. However, your question prompted me to think about how such a thing could be done, and I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't find a third-party Server Control that would work like this. Basically, it
would not be an HTML textarea, but an editable div, with formatting buttons over it.

You can save the content in DIV to a hidden input control.

By the way, with .Net framework 1.1, you need to set ValidateRequest="false"
in config file or on page, or the HTML tags will cause error.
