Adding a comments to text area

[janice]

Hello all,

I need to enter a comment header inside a text area bolded.

Does anyone know how to do this:

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

Comments:This is a text test
This is a text test
This is a text test
This is a text test

Below is the code I am trying to use


<td><b>Comments</td><td>
<%
Response.Write("<TEXTAREA rows=6 cols=40 name=laneNotes>" & "<b>Comments:</b>" & rs("laneNotes") & "</textarea>")
%>
</td>


Thanks in advance

you can't. you can assign style rules to the textarea, but everything in it gets that style. even html is interpreted literally, not as html elements inside of a textarea. you might play around with dhtml tooltips to show your comments when someone mouses over the textarea or something.
