OK, basically i want to create a somewhat simplified version of what forums have with their input.

For example when you press the URL button a box pops up and the B button adds [b] to the input box. Does anyone have a link to any articles on how to create this.

Could you explain what you want in more detail please?

Look at the input panel around the input box when you start a new thread or post a reply. I need JavaScript to do that right? If so where exactly do i begin.

i.e. how do make it so that when the ¨b¨ button is pressed a appears in the input box, then when it pressed again a appears?

a what appears in the box sorry?

Picture is attached in old style vb forums it didn't come with this word processor thing, it came with something simpler. When you pressed the "B" (Bold button) a BBCode [*B] would appear in your input box. When you press the "B" button again a[*/B] would appear to wrap your input in BBCode tags thus making your text bold.

I know how you create BBCode, thats easy enough, what i don't get is how you make the user interface. Which add's these tags. I really cannot make it much clearer than that.
