i am aware that i need to use wysiwyg techniques, but all of the sources i have found online come preset with font drop downs, change text size, insert hyperlink etc. i just want the script i wrote to color the text to help the user visably when they are modifiing the content of the textarea (midi xml and text).
it definitely needs to be cross-browser compatible

the end result of the script will be something like editing scripts in dreamweaver (functions are a different text color that regular text, etc.)

so... could i change the textarea to a scrolling div and run this in my javascript?

<script type="javascript">
function writeEditor(){
var textdiv = document.getElementById('textdiv');
textdiv.designMode = 'On';

//call function that fills in preset txt here
textdiv.innerHTML="preset txt or txt from db";
}
function getTxt(){
var textdiv = document.getElementById('textdiv');
document.write(textdiv.innerHTML);
}
</script>
toast
