Highlighting text in html document

[anutosh100]

Can any one please tell me how can i highlight a perticular text in HTML
DOCUMENT.

That depends on what you mean by 'highlight'. Do you want the background color to change when the mouse rolls over it. Do you want it to look like someone took a highlighter to it and for it to stay the way? Please be more specific when asking questions.

Thanks, Death

I'll assume he meant the second option...

CSS:
.highlighter {
background-color: Yellow;
color: Black;
}

HTML:
We had better <span class="highlighter">highlight this text</span> for emphasis.
