Jquery select() question here <---

[Z33M@N]

Hi guys,

 

I have the following code here

 

<form action="">
            <input type="text" name="text" value="the text here"/>
            <input type="submit" />
            
        </form>
        <div></div>

        <script>
    $(":input").select( function () {
        
      

      $("div").text(value).show().fadeOut(1000);
    });
</script>

 

What I would like to do is build a simple jquery toolbar. I would like to get the selected text in the input box and replace it with for example: <strong>text</strong>

 

Keep in mind that this is test code 

 

I'm not good with javascript or jquery. Need some help and tips please.

 

Thanks
