Nope. No images allowed in textarea. You could use a division (<div>). Instead of setting its value though, you could set its innerHTML property.

Try wrapping your textarea in the div tags and add a background image to the div, then make the textarea transparent so the image from the div shows through.

Well, that depends upon what you are doing. I'm imagining that you have a textarea. After that, I'm not sure. How are you getting the text into the textarea? You could be doing it with javascript, or via server-side code. It might even be something I'm not thinking of. Which is it?

Anyways, the options for a division are the same two I mentioned, either javascript or server side code.

If you were using javascript, you should have been using the textarea's value property to set the text in it. With a division you can use its innerHTML property to set text and even an image or other HTML tags for it.

If using server side code, things work pretty much the same with a div, as with a textarea.

To best advise you on how to proceed, I would need to know what you are currently doing to get the text into the textarea. And it would help to see your code or have a link to your page.
