I want to make it so that if the user has “bold text” highlighted in a text area when they press the “Bold” button it replaces it with “[b]bold text[/b]”.
I would think that it would by placing “[b]” before the start of the highlighting and “[/b]” after it.
I already have it so that the when the bold link is pressed it appends “[b]STRING[/b]” to the end of the text area.
the text area is stored in the variable “tbbcearea” so I can call methods on it.
I found this:
