Rich Text Area in MVC3

Question

Do we have any Rich Textbox/Textarea options in MVC3 or do we need to use jquery RichTextbox plugins?

Answer 1

ASP.NET MVC has nothing to do with Rich TextArea. You will need JavaScript/jQuery for it. I would recommend using jHtmlArea

Answer 2

You need to use plugins. ASP.NET MVC is a server side framework which allow you to spit HTML. And in HTML you have the <textarea> tag. That's where the ASP.NET MVC framework role ends. If you want to make something more out of this textarea tag you need client scripting => so go ahead and pick your favorite WYSIWYG editor. There are lots of them.
