Need to select text from Div section

[Baranidharan Ramakoti]

I need to select multiple words from div section by pressing 'control' and highlight it.
I have used the following code to get the selected text from the page. But I could not apply formatting options for the text. Please help me. Thanks a lot.

function formatText(tagstart,tagend) 
	{
		//Get the selected text		
		var txt = '';
		var x;
     		if (document.getselection)
   		{   		
			txt = document.getSelection();
           	}	
		alert(txt);
		if(txt=="")
			alert("Select some text");	
		//Format the selected text
		var txt1=tagstart+txt+tagend;

		//Print it in the Div section
		var divArray = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
		divArray[0].innerHTML=divArray[0].innerHTML.replace(txt,txt1);
		divArray[1].innerHTML=txt1;
	}
