Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] OT - Detect selected text with
_javascript_
Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible for _javascript_ to detect
what text
is currently selected by a
user? I would like to allow the user to
select some text and then grab that text using JS.
I saw these guys do it : http://www.enlighter.com/ but I'm not sure
if its possible to do this using JS only or if it
needs a browser
extension.
Thanks!
--Dave.
