The HTML Rich Text Area is a web browser tool that replaces textareas with a powerful WYSIWYG editor. It implements a user interface familiar to any Windows user enabling even the most novice computer user to quickly format text in a variety of sophisticated styles. Web sites can benefit from HTML Rich Text Area in many ways; including message boards, customer feedback, blogs, HTML based email generation for customer newsletters or even WYSIWYG web page authoring as demonstrated by the tcpIQ Site Editor which is included in this package.
HTML Rich Text Area allows the user to add 'emoticons' to add feeling or emphasis to words or phrases. This added dimension of communication is boosted with the ability to add bold, color, various fonts and font sizes. HTML Rich Text Area runs totally on the client side. Any web server can be used with no special configuration required. HTML Rich Text Area can be optionally combined with tcpIQ's other web tool, the Web Browser Spell Check http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpiq/SpellCheck/Default.asp to provide a very feature rich browser based editing environment.
