Hello,

does anyone know how to make the following trick happen:

I want, when i select a part of the content text with the cursor, only the text to change color, while leaving the background the same? how is this done?

thanks in advance!

Your wysiwyg editor should have a button to change text color. Select the text you want to have in a different color. While the text is highlighted click on the tool button and select the color you want. This will change text color only on the fly.

In FCKEditor, the icon is a T with a color bar.

I thought he meant when the text was selected in the browser!

The span-element can be used to style parts of paragraphs differently through CSS.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. The only way I know of to do what you want is using javascript in conjunction with your css style. So you would have a css class called ".select" that might look like this:

Code: Select all

.select {
background-color: inherit;
color: blue;
}

Then you would need to add a little javascript that would look like this:
some text some text

I'd have to open Dreamweaver and work with it to get the right code for the event, but it is doable.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you there. I suspect that if you searched around on the net, you'd find the javascript code. Or perhaps email the person who owns that website. I use wordpress for my journal, when I have a moment I'll have to check and see if that's a wordpress plugin.
