Title says it all really, I need to know how to make a content box where I type things in that doesn't rely on HTML to format it. Like <br> to space, I just want to space by hitting enter. Thanks.
You should use WYSIWYG HTML editor or visual HTML editor... There are many javascript-based web editor so you can easily integrate it with your web pages. you can use TinyMCE (tinymce.moxiecode .com) or FCKEditor (www. fckeditor.net) both of them are available in opensource license I've used TinyMCE. It is very easy to install and use. just add a small script and it will convert your <textarea> into visual & Rich web editor.
