[abdoll78]

I write a some text in QTextEdit that have different background for some words. now i want to able to scroll to one of the them with pressing a button (like a next button).
I try to add name to the span tags and then use scrollToAnchor() to move the scrollbar but when add html to text edit, it delete my name .

myTextEdit.setHTML(<span name="scrollToMe">some thing</span>)
myTextEdit.scrollToAnchor("scrollToMe")

anyone know how to fix this?or another solution ?

Have you checked the documentation?

The text can be set or replaced using setHtml() which deletes any existing text and replaces it with the text passed in the setHtml() call

Of course
I read it several times but can't find any solution for my problem!

@abdoll78 solution is to parse your source text, add anchors in it, then set.
