1. Assign an id or a class to the textarea.
2. For css, assign a color string ("#rrggbb") to background-color for the id or the class.
3. For JavaScript control, use a statement such as this:
where colox contains a color string.

You misread the requirements. The task is to change the background color of the selected text in a textarea and not the background color of the textarea.
I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

If you want to change the color the selection becomes when selected, that is a Windows setting, not a web setting. The setting is in the Control Panel, and is under the control of the owner of the computer, not the webmaster.
