Where To Start If I want to make an active text editor

[PHPHelpNeeded]

Hi,

Where would I start if I want to make a active text editor that would high light nouns and adjectives with certain colors.

The question is, is there a TextArea input html tag that might allow you to do this sort of thing?

I know javascript might have the solution, but I cannot get IISNODE to run properly on IIS. therefore I cannot run JS from my web server.

Thanks.

JS runs client side, so whether you can get it running on your server or not is moot. Are you looking at something like TinyMCE?

can you edit text written between the <textarea>My text</textarea> tags of TinyMCE with CSS, like highlighting a certain verb, noun, adjective?\\

I know this question is based on the beginning question, but this question is whether you can SUPLEMENT TinyMCE with CSS?

Ah never mind, I just read from this link: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_text.asp that you can do what I mostly asked, but not narrowly to an specific word in the content.

Like for instance any text between a h1 or p tag or whether will be affected by CSS, included the text I want to exclude from the special editing.

Unless I am wrong.
