Hi! How do i add "extras" to comment boxes like is done in the comment box, which you will use to reply this post? You know, the "change font color" icon, "bold", "italics", etc...

i checked daniweb's source code and i saw <script> tags and an array within a variable containing the font types. Is there a particular name for this type of comment box?

Thanks

Yes, it's called a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor. Here is one which you can use for your site.
"I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live."

"Working a real job is a win if you're lazy, greedy, or unmotivated. If you're average, you fit right in. And if you're above average, the basic terms of employment and premise of the arrangement is against your interests."
