You can not give format to part of the text inside a html INPUT element, you can only format the whole text.

I want to change color of subtraction sign when appending it to txtCreateColumn textbox.
I have bunch of strings in textbox and have to differentiate all of them using different color.
Please suggest.

Suggest what? You just got the answer. Render it separately from input element, in some other element, not input... But why?
