Is it possible to set the "StyleMenu" to create "div" or "span" tags instead of "font" tags?

I am "quote" happy.

thanks.

Hi there,

In an ideal world the control would use <span> as that's clearly the right
way to apply style classes to HTML using CSS. The reason RichTextBox uses
<font> tags is that Internet Explorer does not provide for the ability to
apply <span> tags properly, so it's a choice between no style application,
or style application with <font> tags. Most of the ASP3, ColdFusion and
plain JavaScript editors I have seen do not provide style editing because
they have failed to take advantage of the fact that font tags do a great job
of applying styles.

However, I understand your need to do this in line with standards. As a
workaround to improve the output HTML, you can apply a regular expression to
the HTML that changes <font class="xxxx"> to <span class="xxxx">. You will
most likely need to convert it back again when you reload it into the class.
