How to change colors of text in javascript

[husslela03]

I'm doing some string comparisons....

 

I would like to change the color of text entered based upon the comparisons in the string

for instance

here is some example code;

for(i=0; i<input.length; i++)
{
     if(myInput.charAt(i)==theWord.charAt(i))

     {
            show letter in upper case letter in textbox
     }
     if(the letter is contained in the word i'm trying to match)
     {
             show it in blue
     }
     if(the word is not in the word i'm trying to match)
     {
             show it in black
     }
}
print the letter in the input box....

any help would be appreciated..

thanks

You could wrap it in a <span> ?
