This is a very simple WYSIWYG Text editor that only has three options Bold, Italic, and Underline. just copy and paste on the page you want it on. it is really easy to add more features.

Why use iframe tag? Also, this is not really useful because when someone thing about WYSIWYG editor, a portion of text style could be changed. This code snippet is too simple and not really useful for me. You may try again but work with range selection (cross-browser if you want to learn even more). I have already done it for my work, so it is a good way to learn JavaScript too.

SIMPLE WYSIWYG TEXT EDITOR
I'm sorry, but this is not simple WYSIWYG text editor, but it is simple changing text style. Maybe your definition of 'editor' is different compared to mine (and could be many others as well).
By the way, the snippet should work in all browser, but with these little code and functionality, it is pretty much useless...
