textarea background color

<textarea>
</textarea>

that is the code for the textarea. Is there a way to change the background and text colors in the box?

You can style any form element using CSS, in this case, something like:

<textarea style="color: red; background-color: lightyellow">
</textarea>

//\\ //\\// || //\\//\\ //\\ ||_
_ _ __ ___ _ _ __
|_ | | |_ | | | |_| |_| |_
_| |_| | | |/\| | | | \ |_

Does this spell out anything or symbolize something?

[IanMarlowe]

it's supposed to be
ANIMAL------------//\\(a) //\\//(n) ||(i) //\\//\\(m) //\\(a) ||_(l)




SOFTWARE

The problemis, it doesn't show it right. It looks fine when I go to change my siganture, but when I post stuff, it just doesn't work... But yeah, that's what it means. It's my to-be buisness....

[jscheuer1]

I thought it might be something - software. I couldn't make heads or tails (pun intended) of the animal part.

[IanMarlowe]

now that we're talkin' about signatures, what does yours mean?

[jscheuer1]

How about:

animal
*Software

i like //\\ //\\// || //\\//\\ //\\ ||_ too much...

"98.824% Works in Quirks" - as a string

Evolved, partly because I was tired of mwinter's (Mike) what seemed to me at the time as, constantly telling me my advice to folks was not to this, that or the other strict spec, and partly because I figure my advice usually is correct. I wanted it to be a little funny to those with some knowledge of javascript and html as well. You see, the part in quotes does work as a string in javascript. Quirks [mode], in case you don't know, is an html document with no doctype declaration hence, liberated from many of the stricter standards that might otherwise apply.
