[SOLVED] What's your opinion?

Hello,

 

I built an email opt in that stores email addresses in MySQL, and now I have to build an email application that will allow for easy emailing to everyone on the list. To make things harder, I need to add in a text editor (a lot like the one we use to post these messages) that allows for character formatting. I know there are places where  can just download all the code, but I'd really like to build this from scratch.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I would go about creating this? Will I need to use AJAX?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

what you are trying to build is called a RTE(rich text editor) you dont need ajax at all its all javascripting.

 

You will need to build something that will dynamically change your textarea into a text area that with buttons. Try looking up javascript DOM for this functionality. for the buttons you will need to create events.

Building your rich text editor is going to be a lot of work so good luck with it. If you get stuck with building something like that try looking up tinyMCE or FCKeditor at least you will have an example for what you are building.

 

Hope that helps
