Enable Users To Format Text

Jim Stevenson · Mar 26, 2004

What does it take to enable users to change the appearance of text through a
browser (e.g., change font size, font face, color, indentation, etc)? For an
example of what I'm inquiring about, you can see it on many of the free
Web-based e-mail editors.

thanks.

You could create such a control and it would consist of lots of client side
javascript & such.
There is no built-in web control that deals with rich text decently.
You might consider a third party solution such as these:
