I am trying to implement Rich text editor like http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ for my XUL application. It looks like i can't user tinymce as some of its scripts is using the element "document.body" and firefox is not supporting it. Did any implement a rich text editor in XUL. Please let me know.

It's not that firefox doesn't support document.body. document is different depending on what kind of document you have. In HTML you have document.body because an HTML document will always have a <BODY> element. XUL doesn't have a <BODY> so it's natural that the document doesn't have a document.body property.
The problem is that TinyMCE is heavily depending on that the document is HTML. I don't know the code for TinyMCE but I would suspect that it can be modified to support XUL as well.

An HTML <frame> with TinyMCE is the easiest way to go about it. The harder but possibly better way would be to include a <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/> tag in the document and assign document.body to that element.

Use <html:iframe src="URL to your editor"> is the easiest way to do it
