Anand Rajagopal - CTD, Chennai.
I am using a RichTextBox control in my application. I want to retrieve the
text that has been selected(highlighted) inside the RTB control by the user.
The reason i want to do this is to add html tags of changing the background
color of the selected text alone. I tried using javascript,
selection.createrange() , but it is not returning the selected text inside
the RTB control. Instead it is able to retrieve the text selected in the
body. Please help.
My application is in ASP.NET with C#

Hi Anand,

The document is stored inside an iframe tag. To access the HTML and get
a text range, use the members of that tag. To find the tag name take the
name of your RichTextBox and add "_x5" to the end. So, for example, if
your RichTextBox is called RTB1, there will be an <iframe id='RTB1_x5'
...></iframe> in the page.

Does that answer your question?
