Textarea does not have an attribute "value" input does...examples of both textarea and input

<textarea onclick="this.innerHTML='';this.style.color='red'">Default Text</textarea>

<input value="Default Text" onclick="this.value='';this.style.color='red'" />

Is that what you wanted?

It is not exactly what i am looking for ... You are right about 'value' Actually i include some text from another form there (this is my default text) and then i want to add some additional text in the area. So, i need this to be with different color.Thak you anyway

You can't have more then one text format for an input element.

So you want a textarea to contain text with more than one colour at a time?I don't think you can, you are limited to only one colour AFAIK

Well you could probably hook your self up with some javascript script..I'm going to agree with Scott for now.

Javascript cannot do that, Javascript just interacts with the DOM or with the element's value or inner or outer HTML, and there's no way with any of those to make text inside of an input element or textarea more then one style. The style property for the element applies to the entire element, not to just selected parts of the value or HTML.
