Hi everyone.
OK the problem is i have a textarea with text inside it. I want part of the text inside that textarea to be bold and underlined. I tried using the standard <b> tags but the tags show up when i view it in my web browser, instead of actually making the text bold. Any ideas? thanks..

Umm the point with a textarea is that it is a TEXT area, so imagine it's Notepad. You can't have any formatting in a text area nor Notepad. ^^;; If you want to do a "textarea" with formatting, try making an iframe or a div overflow. Hope that helped!

Yes as ~kiwilie said you can make bold ALL of the text inside the TEXTAREA, but you can't change it for parts of it.
