Hi,
Hello,

I wonder if anyone could suggest me a way to highligth html tag in a
<textfield> box

What is a <textfield> box, and how is an html tag inside of it?
Can you give an example of what you want?

If you just want to display some code, then you don't need to use a
<textarea>.

However, if you want the user to be able to edit the code, then
obviously you do need a <textarea>. However, I don't think a <textarea>
is a rich-edit control, i.e. you can't apply different styles to
different sections of its content.

You can't place styling inside the textarea element because anything
between <textarea> and </textarea> is a value. The only thing you can do
is style the element itself, eg: <textarea style="background-color: yellow;
color: red" rows="10" cols="20">This is red text on a yellow background
</textarea>. Of course, using the style element in the head, or better
yet, an external stylesheet is preferred.
