Online gui editor

Hi,
I want to develop an online gui editor which can be used to create forms dynamically.
I want to support drag and drop functionality and the users will have a toolbox, from
which they will drag any field (for instance textbox) and drop it on the form.
By clicking on the widget, the users will see the properties like name, id, width, height,
coordinates etc.. They can modify the values and save the form with a name. When they
want to get the form back, it should be exactly the same as they designed.
In short, I want to have some thing like the VB / VC++ form editor.
Is this possible. If so, Is there any way to do this? I tried to search the net, but most of
the editors that i saw was unable to support any fields, though they support text and tables.
if there are any articles, please let me know.
Mani

I want, I want, I want...

Can we assume from this that you don't actually want to have to
do any work on this project? I.e. you want someone else to code
it all for you? Ha! Not gonna happen sunshine...

I've just done one of these in JavaScript as part of my final year
project at Uni. Believe me, you do not want to be making one of
these just for fun...

Why re-invent the wheel, just f***inggoogleit.com for htmlArea
or something similar, and adapt to suit your needs...

<edit>Interesting, the swearfilter doesn't seem to be in effect...
I'll filter it out myself for the kiddies...

Thanks for your courteous reply Agent 47. I am not asking for any code.
I am totally new to the web stuff and I dont know much HTML
or javascript.

yes, definitely I dont want to develop nothing for fun. I ask for help since I dont know.
If you know how to do it and if you can give me a piece of advice please let me know.
if you cant help or if you are not interested, thats okay, there may be others willing to do it.

This is not reinventing the wheel. I have searched a lot before posting this and I havent
seen anything similar to what i need. your text area can be useful only for pure text pages
and I need something more powerful than that. I need a gui editor which can support any
html field type like textboxes, checkboxes and the like. Any information in this regard will
help me a lot. More specifically, I am looking for information on how to handle the coordinate
system, how to save the current coordinates and get them back.
