Custom form field with a WYSIWYG

Hi,


I'd really love to know to place some kind of simple formatting feature around an open text field, from a custom form. So that users of a website are able to provide formatted responses to questions.



Has anyone done this, is it simple? Any advice is appreciated.



Thanks

I've used tinymce before:

works ok for the most part, fairly simple to set up.

I have used CKEditor before as well as NicEdit. If you are using a textarea field in your form, it is just as easy as setting your WYWIWYG editor for that field id.
