I need to be able to have a user entering text into a textarea, and be able to insert html tags via clicking a button (like paragraph and break tags) for formating. Then the data needs to be displayed and inserted to a data base for later display. I have the collect and insert deal down but need help with the inserting html code into text area and then keeping its integraty for the display and insert and later redisplay.
