Question

HTML : Is there any way to show images in a textarea?

Answer 1

A:

you can use css to set an background image for textarea, and js to set the text

I don't want a background for the textarea, I want to have images inside the textarea. Or do you mean to hack the textarea with a background so it would look like there is an image inside the textarea? If yes then that's not a good idea because there will be multiple images, and can be updated and deleted too. Edited my question to illustrate it.

As far as I know, you can't use images in a textarea, neither a background-image set with CSS nor an img element.

I don't know what you wanna do, but you can insert anything but plain text inside the textarea. While you do can use CSS to set a background image for an textarea, if you wanna change it, you can then use javascript to change the background.

Thanks for you answer @thomasmalt , then what do you suggest how should I do it?

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Do you want to use textarea with images to display your content to the user, or do you want to use textarea in a form where the user provides text and uploads images?

Answer 3

+2 A:

I understand you want to edit text and pictures but... why does it have to be inside a textarea? Such control is designed to hold plain text. There're many HTML editors written in JavaScript:

Because I don't want to build a complex editor, as I said I want just `text` and `photos`.
