Textarea is a code designed to allow viewers of your site to send information to you via email or onto a webpage. To have more functions like Bold, Italic, Underline, Center, Colour and Font you will need to use some sort of scripting.

Actually, text inside a text area can't be visually changed, unless controlled by a plug-in. That's why stuff like "BBCode" exists. Users write normal text, but when submitted, certain things in the textarea are transformed for the sake of a better reader experience.

If by 'plugin' you mean the MIDAS mozilla object, yes. http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html

Actually, I didn't had that in mind, so that's really cool. But I don't see the principal. How they did it? There's a lot of JS involved, that's for sure.
