i search for "how to replace selected text in div", and i found but it dosent work for html tags, how can i replace text and do a bold text for example? this is the code that i found:

function wrap(tag) {
    var sel, range;

    if (window.getSelection) {
        sel = window.getSelection();

        if (sel.rangeCount) {
            range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
            selectedText = range.toString();
            range.deleteContents();
            range.insertNode(document.createTextNode('<jhjhgjhjhgj>' + selectedText + '</' + tag + '>'));
        }
    }
    else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
        range = document.selection.createRange();
        selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text + "";
        range.text = '<' + tag + '>' + selectedText + '</' + tag + '>';
    }

}

  • Have you tried assigning the `div` contents to a variable? Then you can append your `` tags to the ends, and replace the whole thing with your updated string. – anEffingChamp Mar 19 '15 at 16:06
