I'm not sure how well this will work in Netscape... but it definately works
in IE 5.0 and above...
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function doBoldText(){
var mySelection = document.selection.createRange();
var tmpText = mySelection.text;
tmpText = "<b>" + tmpText + "</b>";
mySelection.text = tmpText;
}
</SCRIPT>
<form name="foo">
<textarea name="mytext" cols="50" rows="6"></textarea>
<input type="button" name="goBold" value="Make Bold" onclick="doBoldText()">
</form>
HTH,
Jeff Garza

that will wrap the entire form field value. I don't think that it's
possible to wrap only a portion with javascript.
