I have a very similar problem, but the text i need to make bold comes from an XML file, so i can't use quote marks. But unless i put the <b> and <\b> in quote marks it says I can't use them. Any ideas how i get round this?

the code for text i need to make bold is here:
_root.text1.startimetext1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[3].childNodes[3].firstChild + " \n" + this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[4].firstChild;
