coder textarea in javascript/jquery

Question

I need a textarea that looks more like an programing environment, like notepad++. Basically, all I want is to insert TABs and keeps the cursor in the same indenting level as the previous line.

Any help on building my own would be greatly apreciated as well (my javascript/jquery skills are very basic).

thanks (:
