Custom span classes on buttons

Hi:

I'm digging through the code trying to figure out how to:

When you click on a button (say the Bold button), instead of inserting <span style='font-weight: bold'>some text here</span> I want it to appear as <span class='bold'>some text here</span>

Is this easily accomplished? What file can I edit to change this?

TIA!

That code is inserted by Firefox after calling executeCommand. If you want to insert custom styles you'd better use the Styles combo.

I think you may have mis-understood my question or I mis-understand your answer.

The styles combo is for editing the appearance of the buttons, right?

What I'm trying to do is edit the action after a button is clicked. E.G. if you click on the bold button it inserts into the text box <div class='some_class'> some text </div>

Is my only option to do plugins or is there some file to edit to change the behavior?

Did you try to use the styles combo?
using it you can find easily that it changes the current selection not the toolbars.

As I said it's the browser the one that inserts <span style="font-weight:bold"> (that code is only inserted by firefox when the settings are GeckoUseSPAN=true)

Thanks for your time Alfonso.

It seems (after further reading) that the styles combo can be applied from the "Style" dropdown box, but not from a button. Am I mis-understanding the docs?

To reiterate, what I want to do is change the attributes when a button is clicked on ... the dropdown box isn't what I'm looking for.
