the trick would be to get selected text into a variable. if that's possible
then it's gravy - have a button bring the text into a variable, add the
appropriate tags to the front and end, then place it back. is it possible
to use JS to bring selected form text into a variable? something like
document.formname.textareaname.selected?
aaron :)
p.s. please let me know if you get this working - i've been thinking about a
similar thing for a while now, but didn't think it's possible....
