Problems with execCommand on FontName

[TheTomHarrison]

I am attempting to write a wysiwyg text editor to use in back-end site administration forms. It's working pretty well, aside from one error: when I hilight a large block of text and change the font, the change only applies to portions of the text selected (which appears to be random portions). Here is the javascript I'm using:

function applyFont() {
 document.all.rtEditor.focus();
 document.execCommand("fontname", false,  document.all.fontNameSelector.value);
}

Where am I going wrong?

Hi,

Mind giving a hint as to what rtEditor and fontNameSelector are -- a textarea and selection list?

rtEditor is the ID of the contenteditable div that's used to edit the text, and fontNameSelector is the id of the select list used to choose fonts.

Anyone know?
