I'm looking for a way to mirror text (like how SO provides a preview of the text being entered, as its being typed). I also need to be able to modify the texts output environment (whether it be a textbox/messagebox/ect.) for background/text color (selected from a dropdown menu). Suggestions on the best way to go about this? FYI I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and its an aspx page. Thanks.

The way SO accomplishes this is using javascript not server side code. In fact SO users a modified version of the wmd editor which you could also use:

One of the problems I have with WMD is it seems to be a lot for the little bit I actually need. More importantly the text that a user enters is used a function/method which creates a webpage and I'm unsure how I'd get the text into that function if its hidden in javascript.
