How can I show HTML formatting inside a text box?

Question

I have a code that allows me to format text in a text box with bold, underline, underline, or italics. But it displays html tags instead of the actual formatting. I know, as soon as I output it inside the div, it will be formatted, but I want to show the formatting while the user writes the text.

How to enable formatting? JavaScript is fine, I'm using jQuery at the moment. I would prefer not to use the WYSIWYG editor if there is another option.

Thanks for any help.
