HTML within <textarea>

[25DORIS]

Hi,
I have a textarea with text inside it. I need part of the text inside that textarea to be bold and underlined. I tried using the standard <b> tags but the tags show up when I see it in my web browser, instead of actually making the text bold.
Can any one give any comments or suggestion?

Hello!
The point with a textarea is that it is a TEXT area, so think it is Notepad. You can nott have any formatting in a text area nor Notepad.
If you want to do a "textarea" with formatting, try making an iframe or a div overflow.
