How to Make Embed Code Box Options

[Healthy Shopping Carts]

Hi.

I am looking to make those embed code box/forms that you see everywhere, such as here: [mod: snip NSFW link]

By clicking in them the embed object code is automatically highlighted, and ready to be posted on blogs, etc.

I am needing it to be used for images, and swf files.

I have been digging around for hours trying to find out how, but have been very unsuccessful.

Could somebody please offer some help?

Thank you.

Yeah, I saw read that. Not what I was looking for, but thanks.

The box itself? That's nothing special. The site you linked to probably uses TEXTAREA. That's not right, really. You can make a scrolling box with CSS.

CSS:

CODE

#scrollbox     { width: 15em; height; 6em;
                 overflow: auto }

HTML

<div id="scrollbox">
<!-- Put what Darin told you here -->
</div>
