var $TextBox = $('#description');
			var $Bold = $('#bold');
			var $Italic = ('#italic');
			var $Underline = ('#underline');
			var $Link = ('#link');
			var $Menu = $('#menu');

function wrapText(startText, endText){
		// Get the text before the selection
                var before = $TextBox.val().substring(0, $TextBox.caret().start);
                
		// Get the text after the selection
                var after = $TextBox.val().substring($TextBox.caret().end, $TextBox.val().length);
                
		// merge text before the selection, a selection wrapped with inserted text and a text after the selection
                $TextBox.val(before + startText + $TextBox.caret().text + endText + after);
                
		// Update the preview
                $("#preview").html($TextBox.val());
}

$Bold.on('click', function() {
                wrapText("<b>", "</b>");
                $Menu.fadeOut("1000");
            });

Why my function wrapText does not work?

What does your console tell you?

Syntax error on jQuery caret plugin, fixed it with a new stable version.
But now it multiplies my text...

Is the script the same?

Does it duplicate inside the wrap?

Yes the script is the same, and yes it was duplicating inside, but I was trying to change something and now its not doing anything..., I'll send an attachment here...

TypeError: $(...).caret is not a function

... before = $("#description").val().substring(0, $("#description").caret().start)

I think it's the problem in the plugin...

Sounds like you haven't attached the caret plug-in, or maybe attach it after you attempt to use if.
