Big thing I am working on, help me get started ![](http://www.talkwebz.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Well, I want to make a thing with PHP and AJAX/Javascript that updates a TEXTAREA box each time the database is changed.

Whats more, I need the textarea to be able to have colored text inside of it,

or make it somewhat like a textarea appearance, maybe a DIV? It cannot be written inside of.

Can somebody show me a tutorial?
