Is there selected text in my input type=text??? 1

[BKQc]

Anyone knows a way to find if there is text selected inside a input type=Text component? If it's possible, can I retrieve the text inside this selection? I tried with the getTextRange() method but it always return the whole VALUE content.

here's some javascript that will work:

you can use the onselect event of the textbox
IE
document.selection.createRange().text

don't know about vbscript
good luck

or better yet you can call it on the onmouseup event

<input type=&quot;text&quot; onmouseup=&quot;alert(document.selection.createRange().text)&quot;>
