you might try this:
http://www.siteobjects.com/pages/soeditor.cfm
it works in ASP NET or CF, turns a textarea into a WYSIWYG window, then passes the
"html" in a hidden form field.
IE 5+ only, I believe.
i say "html" because it makes that microsoft MSHTML, which isn't exactly valid,
but heck it works ok. i'm working on cramming an xhtml converter in there now....
