Could you be more specific? "Doesn't work" meaning you don't see anything, or you see something but it's in the wrong spot?

GUI Text is placed relative to the screen on a simple plane. 1,1 is the top right 1,0 middle right, 1,-1 lower right and so on. You might be placing your text outside of that area with numbers over 1.

GUI.TextArea takes a rect and a string

Change your code to

 string TextToEdit;
 TextToEdit = GUI.TextArea(new Rect (Screen.width/2-sizeX/2, offsetY, sizeX, sizeY),TextToEdit);

No its C#. Sorry, don't speak javascript.

However the methods are the same, you should be able to look each one up in the script reference.

It won't work in javascript as written. However if you follow the link in my answer it will take you to the documentation. In the documentation is an example in javascript.

If you can't make the example from the documentation work then maybe coding isn't for you. Alternatively post the results of using the example in the documentation and I will have another look.
