This is great! It works great selecting text on the page, but it won’t work when select text in a textarea. Is that possible?

@ekbworldwide I don’t think you can return HTML, but you can apparently grab the DOM nodes which can be translated back into HTML. I’ve never done it, but try this post as a place to start:

I ended up at thread by googling
intitle:getSelection

I hope somebody can answer my question.

Using a bookmarklet I can grab a selection as text – tmp=document.getSelection(); – my question is – how can I grab a selection as html?

FF:
var selection = window.getSelection();
if(selection.selectionStart==selection.selectionEnd)
{
alert(“you haven’t select any text!”);
}
