Textarea that can do syntax highlighting on the fly?

I am storing a number of HTML blocks inside a CMS for reasons of easier maintenance. They are represented by <textarea>s.

Does anybody know a JavaScript Widget of some sort that can do syntax highlighting for HTML within a textarea or similar, while still staying a plain text editor (no WYSIWYG or advanced functions)?

Why are you representing them as textareas? This is my favorite:

But if you are using a CMS, there's probably a better plugin. For example, wordpress has an evolved version:
