How to Change the Color Of Certain Words In Textarea using Jquery ?
For instance, i have a textarea <textarea id="txt"> </textarea>
When i type into the textarea, certain words like “is, a , was …” should be colored or highlighted.
The aim is to create a ultra simple HTML syntax highlighter for my project that’s all !
This is completely impossible.
You need to use a content-editable
<iframe>.The reason it’s not possible is that the
<TEXTAREA>has no ability, in any browser, to support formatting. You need a differnt kind of element, so that words can be wrapped in elements, formatting the text.
