createRange creating problem in Netscape 6

[RemoteSilicon]

Hi guys!

I have written a code that checks whether the user has selected any words in a text area. The syntax is :

document.selection.createRange().text

It works perfectly well in IE but I also have to make it work for Netscape 6. Can anyone help me in writing a compatible code.

Thanks for replying.

What I am trying to do in my code is :

1. Onclick of a button, selected value from a textarea is get.

2. Text is added on the start and end of selection

3. This modified text is replaced with the old selection into the whole text

I tried to use the syntax mentioned in the url you gave but when I click the button, the selection value becomes null.
