In Firefox, you can simply call: myInputTextField.selectionStart or myInputTextField.selectionEnd to get the first and last indices of the selected text in the input box.

Is there really no way to expose the prototype of a html element in IE (<8)?

I cooked up a pattern to create and extend html elements using their prototype. This works like a charm in non-ie browsers.
