Note: I answered this wrong, what is below is how to change table cells when your mouse goes over it, if you need it, help yourselves, but it doesn't take care of the initial question

------------------

put this as a javascript code within the <head> tags

<script>
<!--
function setPointer(theRow, thePointerColor)
{
if (typeof(theRow.style) == 'undefined' || typeof(theRow.cells) == 'undefined') {
return false;
}

var row_cells_cnt = theRow.cells.length;
for (var c = 0; c < row_cells_cnt; c++) {
theRow.cells[c].bgColor = thePointerColor;
}

return true;
}
-->
</script>

and put this in the table you want to change information (within rows or cells depending on what effect you want):

<tr style="cursor: hand" bgcolor="#ffffff" onMouseOver="setPointer(this, '#adeaae')" onMouseOut="setPointer(this, '#ffffff')" onclick="location.replace('LINK.html');">

Saw this example from phpAdmin, and I didn't feel like making it myself though rather simple, so took it from them, so credit goes to them.

call me crazy duniyadnd, but isn't that dynamically changing the color of table cells, and not textareas?

Guess again the browser competibility issue comes in, even the login screen or the reply posting screen of this site are with a dark input area for NS but not working for IE5 I am using.

AAAAAARRRGHHH!!

You're right Joh6nn, learned an important lesson, don't write in forums when you half asleep, made two stupid mistakes yesterday... :rolleyes: One was this, the second was posting in the wrong forum. Oh well... I'll let my response be (with some changes), could answer some people's question when they run across it.
