Textarea multiple text colors

[Rekcor]

Is it possible, using javascript:

1) to give the text inside a textarea a different color
2) to give different words inside a textarea a different color? E.g. "The red car had some blue scratches on it"

As you might guess, the second question interests me most

Not inside a textarea no. Inside a div tag with the CONTENTEDITABLE flag set to true - yes.

Well.. point 2 is not possible with a standard textarea element cross-browser. Point 1 would be possible with css:

<style type="text/css">
   #myTextArea {
      color: red;
   }
</style>

...

<textarea id="myTextArea">Some text</textarea>

Hope this helps,
