I'm trying to get bold specific text, inside an input text field. I'm not sure how to go about it since html code isn't interpreted inside a text field, so anything like <b> won't work. Is it possible to bold just some text? Methods like bold() only add <b> around the string.
Thanks

To bold the text in HTML, use either the strong tag or the b (bold) tag. Browsers will bold the text inside both of these tags the same, but the strong tag indicates that the text is of particular importance or urgency. You can also bold text with the CSS font-weight property set to “bold.”
With the cursor on top of the text box, right click, then select Font and then Font Style "Bold".
To make text bold in HTML, use the <b>… </b> tag or <strong>… </strong> tag.
Here is one trick.
An INPUT field is over a SPAN. With a an example of function that puts the 3 first chars in bold. You may run into transparency trouble with older browser. In that case you can leave the normal input field without the bold effect.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>transp</title>
<style>
div{
position:relative;
}
input, span{
top:0;
position:absolute;
width:120px;
}
span{
top:2px;
left:2px;
z-index:1;
overflow:hidden;
}
input{
background:transparent;
z-index:2;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<input onkeyup="bold3(this)" />
<span id="back"></span>
</div>
<script>
function bold3(inp){
inp.style.color = 'transparent';
var span = document.getElementById('back');
span.innerHTML =
'<b>' +
inp.value.substr(0, 3) +
'</b>' +
inp.value.substr(3);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
