 simulate a rich text input field??

Does anyone know how I could simulate a rich text field as an input in a
form??  I know it is possible, HotMail's browser implementation of email
does it.  I'm just looking for simple formatting within the field, to allow
the user to set the font type, size, color, and maybe bolding.  Also would
like the user to be able to designate url links.

I was hoping to find some ActiveX control that I could purchase and use, or
some example.

I'd appreciate any ideas or references.

Thnks,

AndyK

Use CSS.

Could you be more specific?  I understand how CSS gives me the formating I
seek, what I don't understand is how to simulate an form input field, so
that the user can input text, and specify various formatting on that text
(including multiple formats in the same field).  HotMail does this with
their email for the browser.  The body field of the email allows the user to
set fonts on different text snippets in the body field.  I'd like to do the
same.

Thanks,

Andy

Just copy the source from their box then, it's not a control just an awful
lot of script and HTML.
