I'm trying to make a page where a user selects a font style and colour
of the text and as soon as he changes the color or style the text on
that page enetered by him in the textarea changes accordingly.
If you can solve my problem it will be really nice of you. Thanx in
advance.

There are two possible approaches here.
1. Use client side javascript and keep the changes local to the client, the
changes would at least be immediate.
2. You need to keep a record of the changes the client made. You could use
cookies or a database server side. Obviously you would need then to submit
and refresh the page with each change.
You may need a combination of all of the above depending on your
requirements.

hi
the only way to do it with javascript is using the all object, which is a
microsoft invention and therefore not supported by any other browsers.
just assign an id (< ... id="textarea" ... >) to the element you want to change the attributes of.
then use the following javascript:
document.all.textarea.style.*attribute*="yellow" //or whatever
some attributes you can change (replace *attribute*)
color: textcolor
backgroundColor: no explanation needed...
font
fontSize
...
hope this helps you and shows you again that ie is the better choice than
netscape.
