JavaScript Window method: getSelection()
[this page | pdf | back links]
The getSelection() method (when applied to
Window objects in the JavaScript
BOM) returns an
object representing the range of text selected by user.
Note: one way of
returning the text selected is to cast the result to a string (either by
appending an empty string or by applying the toString()
method to the object).
It
has the following syntax with no parameters. It returns a Selection object.
window.getSelection()
