Create a textfield which can include html markup

Question

I was wondering how one could create something that resembles a textfield, but can contain html elements in it. For example, something like what Stackoverflow uses for tags on its "Ask Question" page. Can this be done this done using a particular plugin/library or does it need to be created from scratch?

I have seen some solutions using the "contenteditable" property, but I am worried about cross browser compatibility. In fact it would appear that the Stackoverflow example does not use this. I have tried searching for info on how to do this but haven't found anything. Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

You don't need to create it from scratch. Here is the one I use: TinyMCE

You might also find this useful. But you dont need to make a new one. There are a plenty of open source options available.
