holmedwa04 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boen_robot Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
