Hi
I'm building a dynamic site for a teacher in PHP, and one part of it lets him edit certain pages (eg, the intro page, class page, etc). Currently, it displays the HTML source in one pane, lets him amend it and then preview his changes in another pane, and he can then save the changes to amend the file.
However, he doesn't want to have to use HTML tags himself. So, what I need to do is create buttons (bold, italic, header, new paragraph, etc) and have him highlight some of the text and click a button to apply the tag. Much like the buttons for this forum.
Does anyone have experience doing that, or, do you know of a free/inexpensive script to help me along with it? I'd imagine the actual tagging would be mostly/wholly done with javascript, and I would then like some way of validating what he's created before it's submitted.
Many thanks
Matt
