Description: openWYSIWYG is a 100% free cross-browser WYSIWYG editor that replaces the plain <textarea>s in your forms. Among its highlights are:

• Format text, align paragraphs, create lists, insert images and tables, all visually.
• View the HTML source code of what you're editing.
• It loads extremely fast and is completely written in JavaScript and DHTML.
• 100% free, open source application released under the LGPL, meaning you can distribute it in your content management system or custom web application, all free and without restrictions!
• openWYSIWYG is cross-browser compatible and will work with the most popular internet browsers, such as IE 5.5+ (Windows), Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7+.

Current version: 1.01 beta (March 22nd, 06). We'll update this script once newer versions are released.

<form name="example" method="get">
<textarea id="textarea1" name="test1" style="height: 170px; width: 500px;">

</textarea>
<script language="javascript1.2">
generate_wysiwyg('textarea1');
</script>

</form>
