hey guys, thanks for the replies.....

I have a full HTML editor just like the one we use to post messages on this website. in fact, mine is slightly better!

but anyway, that wasn't part of my specification. I put a lot of work into developing that editor and i'm not gonna hand it over to my client so he can just use it for free.....
i mean, I support all this code-sharing stuff but it will take me more time to install the thing, i'll have to maintain another database, I won't get paid for it and it will not make any difference for the site visitors.....

plus, you guys know what bosses are like, they're thick! that's why they pay us to do stuff! so I'd have to teach the poor soul how to use it and that my friends, would be a 9 hour introductury lesson!!!!!
