Jump to Post1. 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:
document.forms.myid.style.backgroundColor = colox;where colox contains a color string.
Jump to PostYou 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.

Because there is none.

You should look for answers and not pleasing words.

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.
