Bold Text (sounds too simple)

[KevinFSI]

I posted this once before but screwed up the subject, so here it is again:

Is there any way to take the following code and manipulate the fonts (bold/italic/etc...) of individual parts of the text in "MyText" rather than the text as a whole? In other words, can I make just one word bold? Isn't there something like

string.bold()

? I think

string.bold()

just throws some <B></B> tags around the string though. As you can see, I'm lost!
Thanks,
Kevin

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
   MyFont  = &quot;Arial,9&quot;
   MyText  = &quot;-- Hourly Employees --\n\n&quot;
   MyText += &quot;*  You earn 40 hours of sick leave each year, although you may not use any during your first three\n&quot;
   MyText += &quot;   months of employment.\n\n&quot;
   MyText += &quot;*  If earned sick leave has not been used at the end of the year, the balance will be paid to you.\n\n&quot;
   MyText += &quot;*  Although sick days are given to provide continued income when you are unable to go to work because\n&quot;
   MyText += &quot;   of your health, you will be allowed to use these days for time off for other personal reasons also.&quot;

Not sure...you may want to consider ditching the active x control. It is possible to create crossbrowser tool-tips. They are almost simple to make in IE5+ and you would be able to manipulate all of the text to your hearts content (using innerHTML,innerText, and/or TextRange) jared@aauser.com

Thanks for the info. Where can I learn more?
