Need help with textRange.pasteHTML

[Tiono]

Hi, i have a problem to modify html text.

i need to insert a [header][/header] tag in a textarea. if user has select some text, then the [header] tag must place at start of the 1st html tag before the text selected and the [/header] must place in the last HTML tag.

e.g :

if user select "this is a trial text" which HTML source is <p><font color="#FF0000">this is a trial text</font></p> and then user click the header button, then i need to place [header] tag before the <p> start tag and [/header] after <p> closing tag.

I set the range text with pasteHTML but the HTML tag is always outside [header][/header] tag. Is there another method that I can use to change/modify selected text in textarea???

best regards,
Tiono

Nobody could help me ??

i'm using selection.createRange() then i get the range.htmlText and add the [header][/header] tag to it. then I use createRange().pasteHTML() method to paste the new tag. but that will create duplicate html tag to the selection.

sigh....

Have you tried "googling" for "createRange javascript"?

I had found the answer to my copy/paste problem like that a few days ago.

Hope this helps,
Dan
