I’ve got a <textarea>, but I need to color specific lines different colors. Apparently, I can’t do this.
I could perhaps use a <div>, but I like the look and scrollbar of a <textarea>.
Is there any sort of database of HTML elements somewhere that I can check? It’s rather annoying having to burden the posters of StackOverflow whenever I can’t place the name of an element.
Textareas can only contain plain text. No possibility to format via CSS. You need something like a WYSIWYG Editor (CKEditor or TinyMCE)
Or if readonly, filled by javascript:
Use a simple div which can contain HTML markup inside for your line colors. Then style it with CSS to look like a textarea (scrollbar maybe)
