Getting highlighted text from textfield in Mozilla
I'm having the following problem: there seems to be no way of getting highlighted text out of the textfield using JavaScript in Mozilla.
In IE the following call (document.selection.createRange().text) gets me the highlighted text anywhere on the page. In Mozilla window.getSelection() will only return the highlighted text if it's a static text on the page, and completely ignore any text entered into input fields. Any help is appreciated. -kk

Yes, I've googled and I've read the FM, and your point was?
I get a range object that is not null, but then how do I get it's contents? extractContents() and cloneContents() didn't do a good job either. toString() called on range doesn't return anything. Any other ideas?
