Are you grabbing the HTML or the text? If you get HTML and it doesn't include the
tags, you need to navigate up to the parent element and grab its innerHTML and go from there.

>>The most common tasks like bold, italic, underline etc. all have built in functionality so you don't need to do anything to embed text into the selection to change the markup - it just happens.

>>You only need to write code for custom markup that isn't tied to hotkeys.

>>One problem with your code is that the IE control always upper cases all tag names (ie. ) so you will NEVER see a in your markup text, even if you inserted it yourself. IE will always return all HTML out of the DOM which means it's been reformatted to 'DOM' format which is tags upper cased and HTML run together. In fact, doesn't exist either - IE converts that to if I remember right.
