HTML - Rich Text In Textarea/textbox
hi,
i am developing a chat application. i want my chat text area shows bold text,text in different colors. basically i want my text area html tag compatible. how could i do so?. now if give bold text <b>here is text</b> the text area is also showing <b> tags. not the bold text. any help? Thanks R Similar TutorialsMy project is to construct a web site, step by step, with a view to teaching myself HTML, javascript, PHP, AJAX and who knows what next. The site includes its own content manager. That is: I edit HTML on a web page, send it to a database, then retrieve it to build the pages of the site. Including the page on which I do the editing. It's gone very well so far. I can store large chunks of raw HTML, with all the markup, retrieve it and stick it into the innerHTML of a textarea. Many times over. But I knew it couldn't last. If the raw HTML includes a textarea definition then it edits and stores OK, but on retrieval it merges in with the containing page, losing a lot of my work by trying to render it below the textarea. I can find all sorts of free editors to embed in my page but they can all do too much! I don't want to embolden text, for example, because the text itself has to include the <b> markup. I don't think I want an iframe, because the initial contents have to come from the database rather than a pre-existing file, but at this stage of learning I'd like to do it using straight HTML and javascript. I want to define an area of my page which can be loaded with raw HTML from the database, allow editing and storing back to the database, time and again, and I don't want rich text. Has anyone got any ideas? Ed Hi and thanks for looking in, I posted last week about a problem that I had concerning firefox not reading my html as well as explorer, and received some great advice from this forum on the validator page which showed a staggering number of errors. WHen I checked out those errors, almost alll of them were related to the built in converter in Microsoft Word which I used to create the page. Does anyone know of a program or feature of some other program which will convert rich text documents in to html besides Word? Thanks in advance. htmldad i used javascript rich text editor in my code but when i reset form all the fields get reset except text area [javascript rich text editor]. even when i get value from javascript code it doesnt return value............ here is the code //text area <textarea cols="80" rows="10" name="news_description" class="widgEditor nothing">textarea> //reset code function resetTextArea() { document.form_addnews.txt_desc.value = ""; } //get value of text area...it does not work, odnt retyrn any value var cdescription = document.editnews.news_description.value.length; if(cdescription < 0) { alert(document.editnews.news_description.value); alert("Please enter Description"); document.editnews.news_description.focus(); return false; } Hi., How to display the image in textbox or Text area in compressed format,according to the field size(textbox or Text area). any suggestions will be helpful to me. thanks in advance. Hi Learning HTML Stuff.... I have a text box on my webpage. In code it is textarea tag. I want to replace this textbox with a rich-text text box. I have complete code for rich-text textbox. How can go about replacing the existing textarea code with the rich-text textbox code? I mean after replacing, will my entire code still work or i will need to do something else also? When text is entered in the box, i click the OK button, the information goes to the database. so when i replace textbox with code of rich-text textbox code, the OK button will still work ok? Hi everybody, I have a textbox and I want the text of that textbox display in a div. I want the text in the div to be updated as the user writes in the textbox. I hope this makes sense, I have searched everywhere and I have no idea on how to get it working, please help me out here. I also want this to work when the textbox is set to disabled. Thanks Hi there, I have a quick and simple terminology question. what is the name given to the "helper text" that I've seen on some websites alongside textboxes to help you fill them in? They are present at: https://twitter.com/signup if you click on any of the fields. Secondly, I see twitter does this using tables - which everyone seems to hate for layout. What is a better way of doing this? I assume that you fire some javascript when the textbox is active etc. But how do you get the textbox styled and floating on the right? Cheers, J Is there a way to set it so there is a limit to how much text u can input in to a text area.. I know of one way. but i want it to also display under how many letter's you can enter. so say for example i entered.. 10 letters it will say You have got 240 letters left etc.. each time u enter a letter it drops down. anyone know of a way to do this? Hello. Im beginner in html. I have icon and when i click on it, a link will open. I would allso like to do this: when mouse is on the icon - a textbox will appear with a text "NEW product!".

Hi all, I don't exactly know what to call it, apart from the explanation to what I want to do. Basically, I have a HTML page. On their, I have a text box and a search button and some text in a table. What I want to do is, when typing something in the box, clicking search will then jump to a part of the page and 'highlight' what is typed into the box. Ideally, the page will run in either HTML but I can use ASP. Unfortunately I cannot use PHP. Could anyone please help or give me some advise on this? Hi, How can I define a "textarea" with number of rows and cols, but which the user can't delete or change the text inside the textarea ?

Thank You Josh Robertson Reference: http://test5.waltonstreetwebdesign.com/contact.php So there are 3 text inputs there and 1 textarea, I need them to be the same width.
