Jquery Minimal Rich Textbox Plugin

I am looking for a very minimal jQuery rich textbox plugin for a web app I am working on. The user will only need to see the 'textbox', and not any toolbars as all of the rich form

Solution 1:

You can use CLEDITOR which is very lightweight. You can disable all the toolbar buttons and hide the toolbar as well. In addition to this, it lets you make the selection bold/italic using keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+B/CTRL+I) even though the toolbar does not exist.

Solution 2:

var editorDoc;

$(function() {
    var editor = document.getElementById ("editable");

    if (editor.contentDocument) {
        editorDoc = editor.contentDocument;
    } else {
        editorDoc = editor.contentWindow.document;
    }

    var editorBody = editorDoc.body;
    if ('contentEditable' in editorBody) {
        // allow contentEditable
        editorBody.contentEditable = true;
    }
    else {  // Firefox earlier than version 3
        if ('designMode' in editorDoc) {
            // turn on designMode
            editorDoc.designMode = "on";                
        }
    }
});
