This code I got is supposed to make it so there is a colored see through text area with dotted border and so on..but when I try using it on my site nothing happens.. I just see the "Text, text" thing plain.. in no text area or anything.. is there something wrong with my code?? please help!!

here is the code:

<style type="text/css">
<TEXTAREA,input{border:4px dotted red}
<img{filter:glow(color=hotpink,strength=5)}
<p img{filter:chroma(color=white)}
<img{filter:chroma(color=#FFCC00) invert() chroma(color=black)}
<table{background:transparent}
b.tabledesc{width:530;border:1px solid purple;background:pink;filter:alpha(opacity=60)}
</style>
TEXT TEXT TEXTIE TEXTTEXT HERE TEXT.....
</style>

ohh you messed up the CSS code and put in the wrong stuff!

<style type="text/css">
TEXTAREA{
input: border:4px dotted red;
}

< img{filter:glow(color=hot
pink,strength=5)}
<p img{filter:chroma(color=w
hite)}
< img{filter:chroma(color=#
FFCC00) invert() chroma(color=black)}

table{
background: transparent;

b. tabledesc: width:530;border:1px solid purple;background:pink;filter:alpha(opacity=60);
}
[/b]
</style>


The stuff in bold I am very unfamiliar with so you'll have to ask. the rest of it is put in the correst CSS coding. Anyway the first part that I made bold probably goes in a seperate img tag in the body not in the CSS code! Remember it goes in the head or body sections!!!!!

you are using html in your style code... :S

to get the textarea you want you should use this:

<style type="text/css">
TEXTAREA {border:4px dotted red; background-color: #FF3300; filter: chroma(color=#FF3300);}

</style>

Cherzes style codes don't belong into the body sections.... Style codes have to get placed between <head> and </head>

you can add more to it by using css coding, and not normal HTML. to see more css codes check out this page http://www.lissaexplains.com/css.shtml

now add <textarea height="#px" width="#">your text here</textarea> between your <body> and </body> and you should see it.

Love,
