[Solved] Removing highlights in Firefox

[Michael Pullella]

Hi.

I have a Telerik Editor which contains a custom xhtml tag like the following:

<my:Comment
    class=comment
    commentValue="comment text for arrested">ARRESTED
</my:Comment> MAN FOUND IN DITCH

I have some javascript code which can remove the custom tag by doing the following:

        var oSel = editor.getSelectedElement();
        if (confirm("Are you sure you wish to remove this comment?"))
            oSel.outerHTML = oSel.outerText;

The code basically replaces the selected element with just the text that was highlighted, so
ARRESTED MAN FOUND IN DITCH becomes
ARRESTED MAN FOUND IN DITCH
and the custom attributes associated with my:comment are also removed.

The code works properly in IE, however, Firefox doesn't recoginize the outerHTML or outerText properties.
What is the proper way to get such code to work in both browsers?

        var oSel = editor.getSelectedElement();
        if (confirm("Are you sure you wish to remove this comment?"))
            Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Utils.removeNode(oSel);

This solves the problem... Not sure if it is listed anywhere else.
