I am beginner for ASP programming, I want to make a same interface to my content manage system for learning, but ...... how to do it??? Do it hard?? And it write by what language? ASP? PHP? JavaScript, Perl or ....??

Here are the image what I capture from one web site I said above, the interface is like that

You can write a rich text editor in DHTML. The following editor can be downloaded for free: http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm

You may want to implement that into your interface.

The image posted is for a simple text editor. These are much easier to write and use a normal TEXTAREA form element as the edit box. JavaScript is used on the client-side for such simple editors. On the server-side (for saving the information), any language may be used as is appropriate for your web site. Ask your site host about what language(s) they have available for this.
