If I have a textarea block like so…
<textarea name="myTextArea" cols="100" rows="20" readonly=readonly>
.. text area content ...
</textarea>
How can I embed HTML formatted text inside this text block? If I can I had figured the following should work…
<textarea name="myTextArea" cols="100" rows="20" readonly=readonly>
<b>Hello how are you today?</b>
</textarea>
As an example. But that sentence does not show up as bold. Maybe I’m just trying to do something that can’t be done?
I am pretty sure the answer is no — cannot do it with a textarea.
