Textarea Style (bold, italics, and such)

[TriscuitMich]

heres the code i have in:

<center>
<style type="text/css">
textarea{
border: 0px #000000 solid;
background: #000000;
font: normal 10px/normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;}
</style>
<textarea
cols="90"
rows="7"
readonly>
-July2-11:39pm-
REALLY BORED!
</textarea>
</center>

------------------

now if i want to have the date & time larger than the actual text ("REALLY BORED") then how would i go about doing it? if i put any coding into the <textarea></textarea> spot then it shows up in my textbox (if that makes any sense!). in other words if i put in: <textarea><b>my name is kellen</b></textarea> then it shows up as: <b>my name is kellen</b> instead of: my name is kellen.

Hi, if you add any HTML tags within the textarea, it will show up as it is. You can make text in the entire textarea bold.

You could get tricky with some CSS2 pseudo-classes in Gecko, but I'm not too sure on how well they will work (don't even think about it in IE):

textarea {
font-weight: bold;
}
textarea:first-line {
font-weight: normal;
}

You can limit the number of characters your textarea will accept with this script.

Invisibility of textarea

for the earlier question about making your background invisible...this should do it

textarea{

background:none;

}
