Inserting text between Nested tags

Hi,

New to this form, I have developed new plugin tool-bar button to change the selected text to red-color and underline. I am facing following issues, any help is appriciated

If it is plan text it is working fine but if my selected test is something like this

AAABBBCCC

Then I am having problem.

1) if user selects BBCC from editor then; I from command I am getting htemText as
BBCC

I am changing text to
BBCC

but after replacement final text in editor is
AAABBBCCC

Editor is adding last tag automattically; How to avoid this..

2) How to take care of such condition we there is multiple tags in b/w selection

Thanks

RE: Inserting text between Nested tags

I think for this to work you need to reselect each TEXT node (or partial node) in the original selection range and make your tag changes to each TEXT node separately. Or you might be able to directly apply the midas commands (see developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Midas) to the selection range, which I think will fix up the DOM tree for you. But this may only work with gecko based browsers.
