Text Editor on Webpage

[ct5098]

I'm creating a website that requires an advanced text editor, similar to the word processor in Google docs. I'm planning on creating the editor from scratch, but I'm not sure what language to use. I was thinking of using a Java applet, but I'm open to other suggestions. Some of the features that are required are highlighting and drawing (such as Microsoft Paint). Any suggestions would be helpful.

For text javascript ? Dunno about drawing in a web browser might be tricky.
Java does everything but It needs Java.

Online Vi implementation, although it's very simplistic it might give you some ideas, enjoy.

maybe you can incorporate something like Oekaki? or Paint Chat?
