I'm afraid there is no simple way to do what you want to do. The current version of HTML (4.01, I believe) does not support this at all. HTML 5, which is still in development, has a <canvas> element that can be used with javascript to create the kind of thing you are looking for, but only the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari support it.

See: w3schools.com/tags/html5_canvas.asp for an explanation of the <canvas> element and dev.w3.org/html5/spec/#the-canvas-element for the full (uncompleted) specs.

See: http://devfiles.myopera.com/articles/649/example1.html for an example of the kind of design you are looking for.

There's no HTML element that's a "draw box". You'll need to find something built in JavaScript/Flash/Java and drop it into your page.

Try CanvasPaint or this other Canvas Painter.
