Please if anybody can show me how to make a text looks like a hyperlink.

For example if i have a string: "John, Andy, Steve" i need each comma dilimited names to be underline and when i hover over it shows a "hand" as mouse pointer. Since the text is inside of the TEXTAREA, i think it needs to be some kind of JavaScript parser function.

Thank you
 
why a text editor?
if it's in a div it would be really easy.

please explain why you'd want a fake hyper link?
while you could do it with styles, unobtrusive javascript.

you could also make them links, that point no where(# or empty javascript function)
