it's really hard to tell without knowledge of what "editor_displaying_text" is.
I'm going to go on a limb and say not all elements have a property called "value"... in fact, most do not. Unless "editor_displaying_text" is an "OBJECT", "PARAM", "LI", "INPUT" or "BUTTON", value will return undefined.
Read the DTD: http://www.w3.org/TR/html/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd, do a CTRL-F for "value" and see how often it shows up.... not very often.
You may want to check out the "childNodes" array for a list of dom elements within the element -- or, if you like the cheap & easy way out, innerHTML.
It's an editable div which id is editor_displaying_text
Thank You
You'll have to show your code. Where do you define it within the page?
- function makeBold(txt){
-
-
var offer=document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").value;
-
-
-
offer=offer+'\n' ;
-
-
offer=offer.replace(txt,'<b>'+ txt +'</b>');
-
-
document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").value = offer;
-
}
-
- function makeBold(txt){
-
-
var offer=document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").value;
-
-
-
offer=offer+'\n' ;
-
-
offer=offer.replace(txt,'<b>'+ txt +'</b>');
-
-
document.getElementById("editor_displaying_text").value = offer;
-
}
-
That code still does not show the <div>

...and the code for the "editor"?

No, I didn't mean you did something wrong (in fact, quite the opposite)! I was in the middle of replying and by the time I replied, you'd already done so. I just added an edit in case it looked like a duplicate response.

I was just kidding. Nobody prevents me from meddling in other forums/fora/forae?

Lol, you never know these days how people are easily offended.
Oll3i, as tswaters mentioned earlier, the div tag doesn't have a value attribute. Either use innerHTML or the DOM methods.
One other thing, you can't use document.write after the document has loaded.
thank You that works I'm happy :)
