When writing something in “input” it’s real-time visible in div. It’s necessary that when B button is pressed the selected text in div turns bold and then it becomes unbold when pressed again. But I don't need any library or framework. I need to use only JavaScript. I tried getSelection methods and execCommand but they did not help․
const textArea = document.getElementById("textArea");
const input = document.getElementById("input");
const bold = document.getElementById("bold");
let span = document.createElement("span");
input.addEventListener("input", e => {
span.textContent = e.target.value;
textArea.appendChild(span);
});#textArea {
width: 360px;
height: 350px;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 15pt;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: scroll;
border: 2px solid #ccc;
}
button {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.inputDiv {
margin-top: 5px;
}
#input {
width: 370px;
height: 50px;
border: none;
outline: none;
background-color: #ccc;
font-size: 15pt;
}
#workspace button {
width: 50px;
margin: 5px auto;
background-color: #d9d9d9;
}
#workspace button:hover {
width: 50px;
margin: 5px auto;
background-color: #999999;
