Ok. Let me explain - getSelectionHTML() method is for selection of characters from 0 to 10.
I am getting the values by "myDiv" id. but inner bold, italic & other tags are putting me in trouble.
In simple words, I just want to make selection of first ten characters (& apply them span tag) which are in "myDiv" tag.
What exactly I am missing ? Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
Sagar.
