Publisher review:designMode can help you turn any frame, iframe or window into a cross-browser wysiwyg editor.

It was originally developed for Internet Explorer, however, later implementations by other browsers are proven to be surprisingly compatible and stable. The functions in this plugin can help you turn any frame, iframe or window into a cross-browser wysiwyg editor. This technique can be referred to as designMode, because it's triggered by setting the designMode property of a DOM document to 'on' using JavaScript. The content can be modified by a set of commands using the execCommand() function. Mozilla provides a good specification of avalible commands.
