Hi,

i want to make a tool which can change text background color with mouse drag...using javascript

like
this is sample text.

i want to prepare a script. so that when i start dragging with mouse it changes the text color like when i start drag at s.. it immediately starts changing background color (yellow) of that selected text...

same as highlight tool.... but i do not want to click any button for it... just this tool should be available for text whenever i drag it anywhere on html/asp page..

any guideline/suggestion/resource are most welcome....
i am trying for last may days.. but could not find any appropriate method...

thanks for your consideration

best regards
ashok sharma

Hello,
You can perform it using jQuery. Are you familiar with jQuery?
It is a javascript library that enables you to any visual tasks like dragging windows, made any picture rounded, etc.
for example notice following:
$("div > p").css("border","solid #0C0C0C 1px");
this means that change "border" propery of every "p" tag that is nested into a "div" tag, to "solid #0C0C0C 1px".

I put some files in my blog for you. by these you can learn to perform what you wanted and other things.
