referencing selected text in textboxes?

I know there's a way of extracting the text in a textbox or textarea, but is there a way to extract just the text that is currently selected in a textbox or textarea?<br><br>Thanks... <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

In IE 4+ you can do:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;var selectedtext = document.formname.inputname.selection.createRange();
