Textarea color and bold

[florida]

This makes bold and blue color in IE but doesnt do any bold or blue color in Netscape:

<form action="anywhere" method="get" name="Monthly_message">
<textarea name="ffff" cols="40" rows="3" wrap="soft" style="font-size:9pt; color:blue; font-weight:bold;">here is the info</textarea>
</form>

This gets bold in Netscape 4.77 but doesnt change color to blue.

<form action="anywhere" method="get" name="Monthly_message">
<font face="Arial" color="#0000FF"><strong>
<textarea name="here">here is the info</textarea>
</strong></font>
</form>


How can I get blue and bold textarea in Netscape 4.77??

The reason why the text is not bold or blue in Netscape 4.77, is most likely because of this line:

style="font-size:9pt; color:blue; font-weight:bold;"

That is CSS, and Nescape 4.77 being VERY old probably doesn't understand it. Really though, who's going to want to use a browser that out of date?
