Thank you very much.
It is ok even the selection isn't used. but I want to the highlight looks like the selection, I mean the text is displayed in turn over mode, is it posiible?

COBOLdinosaur

No the string methods on work on the text, the background is not exposed in the string object.

Thanks.
But I have a new question, the 'red'.fontcolor('red') is changed to 'red', but I use that string in another string, something looks like as bwlow, it doesn't work!
str = "<A HREF=javascript:void onClick='document.write(\"green black red\");return false;'>COLOR</A>"

I need this one as below, what can I do?
str = "<A HREF=javascript:void onClick='document.write(\"green black red\");return false;'>COLOR</A>"

I'd have to see more of the code to understand what you are doing, but if that sample is the way you are generating code, then this method is not going to work for you. You need to re-think the design you are creating a maze of unmaintainable code.
