Repetitive question :

I want different colours in my C# webform textbox!

you have two options :

• using custom editor with disabled toolbar! (as described in mentioned thread)
• using a editable div (typing allowed) and format elements in it using css!

another solution can be like this:

1. create a div element with a border witch will simulate your textbox
2. create a span element at first of your div to hold your username!
3. create a textbox at front of each username for its message to type!

but remember this solution is for new message for typing. for old messages you should use div and span only elements (without textbox) to show them. posted messages do not require textbox, because they are not editable!
