I am looking for a JavaScript code that will allow me to prepend and append highlighted text in a form with HTML tags.

I asked that same question -- twice -- and got no answer. . . *sigh* But I found a start for you (only works in IE; I know, I know, thats really lame, but hey, it's a start.):

function PlaceTag(tag){
        var selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text;
        if (selectedText != "") {
            var newText = "(" + tag + "]" + selectedText + "[" + tag + ")";
            document.selection.createRange().text = newText;
        } else {
        	input = document.getElementById("input");
			input.value = input.value + "("+tag+"]["+tag+")";
        }
}

It is a place to start, thanks
