Is there an open source javascript text editor similar to gmail?
I use TinyMCE myself, as Banzor suggests, but there are several other alternatives here that have their own strengths:
- WYMeditor - http://www.wymeditor.org/
- CKEditor - http://ckeditor.com/
- FCKeditor - http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor

gmail uses open source closure-libary (made by google). Some docs can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/closure/library/
An example of an editor built with closure-libary is very similar to the gmail editor (like part of the link) can be found here:

I am using TinyMCE. This is probably the most powerful version of JavaScript, and it has really clean markup! The entire user interface is customizable too. They have a lot of information about the TinyMCE website
Here is the jQuery version: TINYMCE plugin

Thanks Dennis,
But lately there is a very well tuned feature for gmail!
New gmail text editing options
Hence there is a simple code like above and also automatically recognizes right to left and left to right.
