You'll need to check the documentation for tinyMCE.

I found sothing that do the effect i want to but i don't know if it deletes the element :tinyMCE.execCommand("RemoveFormat");New:it dosn't delete the element !!!Also i still have the same question How can i remove it ???

I assume that tinyMCE contains a way to delete things that you've added. Having never used tinyMCE, and not having any psychic powers that I'm aware of, I don't know the name of it. A 10-second Google search should tell you how to delete an element using tinyMCE.If you're just writing HTML to the page and not creating a specialized tinyMCE element, you can remove it using the id.document.getElementById("test").parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById("test"))That is not specific to tinyMCE though, in general that's how you remove a node.

hello justsomeguy,thanks for your reply. I think you are right with the 10 Second. But the problem is that this element was added dynamicly and i had and still have another problem, when i add this element it dosn't accept any Id. But if you have never worked with Tiny you may not understand exactly where the Problem is. Anyway the command that you wrote is usefull and i may need it ;- )best regardsAlim

tinyMCE.execCommand('mceInsertRawHTML', false, "<span id=\"test\" style='background-color:silver;'>_____</span>");There's an ID right there.

[alim]

that's right, but Tiny filters out this id. I've checked that by taking a look at the html content of the added element.

Then there's probably not a lot you can do, you'll need to check the tinyMCE documentation. If you create an object like that with an ID (here the ID is "test"), and then do this:alert(document.getElementById("test"));You should see something like "Object" if it exists, or "null" or "undefined" if it doesn't exist.
