No... Browser just knows Html. So you need to find one equivalent Richtexteditor built using Html. Why dont you try HTML Editors ? Might try Yahoo RichText editor, Its free and easy to implement. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/ Cheers. :rose:

Thanks for your reply, in html editors we can assign different colors to text by selecting the text and then choosing the color for it, but i want to select and color the text programmatically. How can i do this. Sonia

Yes why not. html richtexteditors generates proper html and places it in the editors. HTMLs can easyly handle colors and if the API supports color of text for the editor you are using, it is easily possible. ;)
