Hi!

I am trying to wrap some html paragraphs inside a div element:

<p>1st paragraph</p>
<p>2nd paragraph</p>
<p>3rd paragraph</p>


I want to have this when I select this text from an iframe with window.getSelection():

<div>
<p>1st paragraph</p>
<p>2nd paragraph</p>
<p>3rd paragraph</p>
</div>

and, in case I select 2 paragraphs and a half, the div woud end before </p>:

<div>
<p>1st paragraph</p>
<p>2nd paragraph</p>
<p>3rd parag</div>raph</p>

Thanks in Advance!

Could we see your script? Not sure how you did it. By the way, when you do the selection, did you attempt to check the DOM for parent/neighbor nodes instead of only the text selection?

In jQuery, you can use $('p').wrap('div'). Anyway, post more details to get more implementation.
