Can you help me? Textarea and colors :(

I have the following problem:
I have a textarea with a basic CSS and a default text color but wat i need is to make one part of the content of this texarea in a different color. Realy i don't know is it possible. I need to do that "onLoad" of the textarea. It's like the WYSIWYG editors but i only need a part of the string to be in different color (nothing else /for now /).

Thanks in advance.

I am afraid you can't use a color for a part of a textarea but only for the whole textarea

you need to use tinymce or something

I'm aware of that but WYSIWYG editors are able to do it (but as far as i know with some iframe).

I think that i can't use WYSIWYG editor for this becouse i need to color the string dinamicly . But i'll think of that option thanks Olaf.

look tinymce or others are not showing you a textarea, they show you a box manipulated with JS. They use the textarea as an container which is able to post content

I think JS is what they used in this case...

Get yourself a firebug and digg the html code with it. You might be able to see what textarea is being used at the background and what tags are being used to color some text. Then simply add those tags yourself.. and ask your wycwyg editor to refresh or something...

Working with text selects in javascript is a pain

they display you a carton manipulated with JS. They use the textarea as an canister which is adept to mail content

i think u can do this using JavaScript..
