Colors in Textbox control

[Dean J Garrett]

We have a browser based application that requires us to display different
colors of text inside of a Textbox control. We found out the standard .net
textbox control may not be able to display multiple colors simultaneously.
Is this true? Is there a 3rd party control that allows this? Why can you do
it in HTML, but not .NET Textbox?

Thanks!!!

Dean,

The textbox in HTML (as most basic controls) is just a by W3C described
control. That is the same for the one in ASP.NET that uses that in the
clientside.

This makes that it is compatible in almost every browser inside the limits
as it is described even backwards. Although, not real very fancy do you not
see much added controls anymore that are browser specific.

I hope this gives an idea.
