I'm trying to write a bookmarklet that grabs any selected text on a web page and sends it to my website. It should (hopefully) work in Chrome, FFX, Safari, and IE. I did a search and found a function, but it doesn't appear to work. Here is the code:
<html>
<body>
<div onClick=getSelText()>Click</div>
<div>please select me</div>
</body>
<script language=javascript>
function getSelText(){
var txt = 'nothing';
if (window.getSelection){
txt = "1" + window.getSelection();
} else if (document.getSelection) {
txt = "2" + document.getSelection();
} else if (document.selection) {
txt = "3" + document.selection.createRange().text;
} else return;
alert("selected text = " + txt);
}
</script>
</html>
when I select the text in the div "please select me" and hit the click div, I just get "selected text = 1"
thanks
