How can I amend the content a user enters in a text box?
Question asked by: knowitall
If you want to edit the content in the text box or textarea then the easiest way to do this is to make use of the Range property.
This creates a copy of the contents of the text box which you can then play about with.
Common applications are for the user to highlight the text, click a button, and then have some HTML or BBCode formatting applied around the text.
This is easily done in a through lines of code using the Range element - note that you need to do some testing for IE and Mozilla as they treat things differently.
