I need to build a very basic rich text editor with my own rules...
How would you try to get the text a user has highlighted in an text area, modify it, and then add it back to the text area?
Right now, I am trying to grab the highlighted text in JavaScript, set that value to a backing bean which goes through and does the changes to the text area.
The Text Area would then be reRendered to show the changes...
Is this a practical was of doing this? Or is there a better way?
Thanks
Indy
