textarea with syntax / code highlighting

Question

Is there some sort of textarea control equivalent that will properly color syntax as its entered on a webpage, similar to Visual Studio or Eclipse?

I'm not looking for an editor like fckedit, i only need it for presentation purposes (coloring on the fly). I'd like for this to highlight/color HTML, javascript, and vbscript

Answer 1

What i was looking for was Codepress. It supports most of the languages i was looking to highlight.

Answer 2

Comparison of JavaScript-based source code editors at Wikipedia.

Answer 3

Gotta go with Bespin by Mozilla. It's built using HTML5 features (so it's quick and fast, but doesn't support legacy browsers though), but definitely amazing to use and beats everything I've come across - probably beacause it's Mozilla backing it, and they develop Firefox so yeah... There's also a jQuery Plugin which contains a extension for it to make it a bit easier to use with jQuery.
