Edit text in input field

[Christian Colberg]

Hi,

I wanted to know how you can insert text to the left and to the right
of a marked part of the word. example:
Input field says: ... trees are green ...
By marking this text and using a button I'd like to have
.... <b>trees are green</b> ...

- This has nothing to do with php. You have to do this with javascript.
- afaik it is only possible using IE
- a possible solution: hm... afair I did that once... some years ago,
but I don't find the script. sorry.

But a better solution is doing it using prompt.

Saludo

<?php $string="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
if (!$_POST['Submit']){
echo $string;}
else{
echo str_replace( $_POST['text'],"<b>".$_POST['text']."</b>",$string);
}
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="text">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

This should be helpful, plus their beta version works for Mozilla and
Safari type browsers as well
