FN-FORUM: DHTML replacement of text nodes

date posted 5th August 2005 09:21

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a problem using DHTML?

I want to be able to replace a text node (nodeType=3) so that there is a
span around it to apply some styling.

Ideally, I want to be able to do this:

node.outerHTML = '' + node.innerHTML +
'';

But you can't do that with text nodes. I've tried the IE replaceNode, etc
but am having no luck.

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks,

Pete
