Just a bit of css

for exsample heres a basic text aria


<textarea name="textarea" > </textarea>


Now to give it a background colour, you need some css to do this.

for exsmple



<style>
.txtariacss {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>


Now this for exsamoke would make the text box back black, and the writing in it white. Change the hex codes for differnt colours.

Next step is to apply the css bit to the text aria.

this can be done with the class attribute



<textarea name="textarea" class="txtariacss"> </textarea>


The class uses the name gievn to the css to attach itself. and now that text box follows what the css tells it to, aka white text, balck background.

Does that help at all?

Im not entirly sure, you probaly can, but alot of the html based formating tags are being phased out by modern browsers, to make place for the css, wich is seen as the standard formatting landgwage by w3 etc.
