Receipt of textarea

[rielyn]

Good evening, I've got the problem of getting the text just out of textarea for a long time, swinging in the google, but I haven't found anything, some checks on the browser, and it's not just textarea that she's taking over the whole document. Can we put this on jquery?

A little google, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/275761/how-to-get-selected-text-from-textbox-control-with-javascript

function ShowSelection()
{
  var textComponent = document.getElementById('Editor');
  var selectedText;
  // IE version
  if (document.selection != undefined)
  {
    textComponent.focus();
    var sel = document.selection.createRange();
    selectedText = sel.text;
  }
  // Mozilla version
  else if (textComponent.selectionStart != undefined)
  {
    var startPos = textComponent.selectionStart;
    var endPos = textComponent.selectionEnd;
    selectedText = textComponent.value.substring(startPos, endPos)
  }
  alert("You selected: " + selectedText);
}
