The script below will replace selected word in a textarea. But it only works on IE. Any idea how to make it work on Firefox? (The problem seems to lie in (document.all)? document.selection.createRange() : document.getSelection();)
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--//
var seltext = null;
var repltext = null;
function replaceit()
{
seltext = (document.all)? document.selection.createRange() : document.getSelection();
var selit = (document.all)? document.selection.createRange().text : document.getSelection();
if (selit.length>=1){
if (seltext) {
repltext= prompt('Please enter the word to replace:', ' ');
if ((repltext==' ')||(repltext==null)) repltext=seltext.text;
seltext.text = repltext;
window.focus()
}
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name=f>
<textarea cols='40' rows='10' name='msg'></textarea>
<input type=button name=b value=Replace onClick=replaceit();>
</form>
</BODY>
