How can you format the text in a text box, such as font, font-size, bold, etc.?

Meaning a textarea? The only way you can do it is with CSS. Browser support may vary.

textarea { font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: bold; color: red; background: #aaa }

Or if you mean an input box in a form you could do it like this:

<html>
<head>
<style>

</style>
</head>
<body>

<form>
<input class="box" type="text" name="name" size="20" />
<input type="button" value="Submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>
