I won't suggest you look at others to use but I would suggest taking a look at jWYSIWYG to see how it's coded in jQuery.

The easiest way is the following. It's used by TinyMCE and CKEditor and many others. There are many variations: in particular, if you are creating a code editor, there are clever tricks you can do using textareas and a monospaced font.

  • Dynamically create an iframe and place the editable content within that iframe's document
  • Set the iframe to be editable either by setting its document's designMode property to "on" or by setting its <body> element's contentEditable property to true. Note that designMode support predates contenteditable in Firefox and as a consequence is a lot less buggy.
  • Add buttons (such as bold, italic, insert image, etc) somewhere sensible (such as directly above the editable iframe) in the main document that act on the selected content within the iframe. All browsers supply an execCommand() method (see MSDN and MDN, for example) for doing many of these actions, although there is some variation in exactly how they work and what mark-up they produce.

That's the very basics of how it works. There are tons of other, complicated things that most editors do that aren't immediately obvious, in part to iron out the many differences between browsers and in part to provide extra functionality not covered by the built-in browser commands. It's a very complicated and difficult thing to get right, requires a high degree of expertise and commitment and is not something to be taken on lightly.
