For some reason, instead of making the text bold when I execute the function, instead the text box displays the string "This is a test" Can someone give me any idea as to what may be the problem here and a potential solution?

  <b>This is a test</b> is what is displayed.

  Oops. That text was not meant to be bolded. The text box displays "<This is a test>"

  Use :
  sel.pasteHTML(''+str+'');
  instead
