Hello, 
  I am new at this and have a question.  I have created a combobox and 
have written a bit of javascript so that based on my selection the 
value of that option will be displayed in a text area.  Now, my 
question is, i need to have it displayed with some of the words in the 
value a different color at the very least bold.  for instance, in my 
code below, you will see the value for the options.  in those option 
values I want, for instance, car and garage to be a different color or 
bold, but the rest to be default.  Can anyone help me? 
If it isn't possible, can anyone suggest something that will work that 
basically lets the user choose an option and it return a block of text 
and within that text SOME of the words are a different font? 
Thanks 
 
 
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
<!-- 
function OnUpdateValue(ComboList) 
{ 
   var strValue = ComboList.options[ComboList.selectedIndex].value; 
 
   if (strValue) 
   { 
      TextArea1.value = strValue; 
   } 
} 
//--> 
</SCRIPT><select name="Combobox1" size="1" 
style="width:232px;height:21px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;" 
onchange="OnUpdateValue(this)";> 
<option selected></option> 
<option value="the car is in the garage" 
<option value="The fox is in the house" 
<option value="L2B">Background - Column 2</option> 
<option value="TBD">Background - Column 3</option> 
</select>
