I'm not entirely sure for what it is that you are asking, so I'll give 
two options:

1. If you mean a pretty online HTML forms with RTF capabilities,
    TinyMCE has been my goto choice for some time.  Failing gracefully
    to standard textarea inputs when no JavaScript, and producing 100%
    compliant output is a plus.

2. If you are asking for something to help you create HTML forms,
    rather than using a prebuilt alternative, I can suggest two routes:
    by hand or Amaya.  Both require a true understanding of HTML and CSS
    to enable effective utilization.

Personally, I'm in the by-hand camp.  The only tool that I built for 
myself was a simple auto reloading browser so that I could see my 
results instantly after a save (rather than having to perform some 
keyboard combination) and show me any warnings or errors in a Growl-like 
notification.
