IE problem with textarea

paaaaaaaaaa · 06-06-2007, 10:26 AM

I have an iframe as a wysiwyg text editor. Say someone has some text selected and wishes to turn this into a link. I have a button to click which opens a new iframe in a lightbox style window but when a user clicks into that box the selected text will be lost in the other iframe.

Is there anyway around this. There could be a long way where I save the content of the text area and the curser position?

Might wanna do that anyway...it would be a cool feature to store this info in a session cookie or in a database table so they could resume where they left off...just a thought

yeah thanks. Thats what I have resorted to. Thing is I knew it wouldn't be easy. I'm no javascript expert and I have to do it the mozilla way and the microsoft way.

I have managed to save the range of a text selection but does anybody now how I tell get it to select that piece of text again?

FIXED NOW
