text problems Options

[rilla]

i have just started a xanga not very long ago. and i finally have decided to start customizing it a little bit. problem is i am totally computer illiterate. i managed to find a background i liked but i couldn't read my text over it. so i wanted to have my text in its own little box. so i found an html code on a website and it did that but the problem is i can type in those boxes when i am not even editing and am just look at my page.

i really don't know what to do to change that??? could somebody please help me. i looked through the topics to try and see something similar to this but i really dont' know what i am looking for, so i apologize in advance if this has been asked before.

the code i am using is this :
<TEXTAREA style="WIDTH: 372px; COLOR: #e7589f; BORDER-TOP-STYLE: solid; FONT-FAMILY: verdana; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: solid; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: solid; HEIGHT: 176px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffccff; BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: solid" rows=8 cols=44> ******text inserted here***** </TEXTAREA>


thank you all soo much

what dont you get.. all you have to do is replace the color and type of font and how big you want the font to be..

when i am not even editing and am just look at my page.

i mean that when i visit my site, or if someone else visits my site they are able to type text into those boxes, and shouldn't only i be able to do that when i am using the edit function. they are able to change my entries



as for what i don't get i just want to have like a block behind my text, that is a solid colour so that my text can be read. without altering my background image...does that make sense? so like a block of colour on top of my background which has text on it

thanks for replying

Anybody could be able to type in those boxes, but nobody will see them. NOBODY but the person who typed it. so you really have no problem there..

yes, you could do just a block of a color.

edit your needs for that..
