Re: Getting Selected Text

I didn't want to set the text of an element, but your function gave me
the window.getSelection() function to lead me in the right direction.
This function doesn't work for me in IE, so I made this function
below... it seems to work alright.

function getSelectedText() {

    if(window.getSelection) {
        return window.getSelection();
    }
    else if(document.selection.createRange().text) {
        return document.selection.createRange().text;
    }
                                        
    return '';
                                        
}
