Text box help, the boxes that show html so people can copy it Options

[ZukoJin]

I want to be able to have a box on my profile with the html code for a link back image showing for people to copy and paste it onto their own profiles if they want but it's not turning out quite like I want. The one on my profile has a white background and the text shows up white so that it's not visible. This is what I want it to look like, but this is all I'm getting.

HTML

<textarea>html code here</textarea>

Is the code I'm using.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Just a few modifications, and it should work.

CODE

<style type="text/css">
textarea{
background-color: transparent;
font-family: Times New Roman;
font-size: 10pt;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
