change color of specific words in textarea...HELP

[codeone]

I am so desperate...

Can someone please give me a valid answer, I have posted this question three times now, in different ways, and no one knows how to do it, maybe I am explaining it wrong...

what I want to do is:

type some words in the textarea, for example: <Javascript>

and once the full string is typed, it ---> (<JavaScript>) would then turn red.

and if I typed: <Table>

once the full string is typed, it ---> (<Table>) would then turn green.

I am sure Javascript can do this...just how to do this is beyond me at this time...

so please help me out,

P.s. This is a client side project and would resemble the syntax coloring feature which comes with many HTML Editors.

no can do with <textarea>

you could put all the text in a <div> or <iframe> alternatively

Simple answer: It cannot be done with a textarea.
