Check the value in textbox is selected using jquery
jquery, jquery-selectors
Solution
See this : http://jsfiddle.net/rT5vR/
var t = '';
if(window.getSelection) {
t = window.getSelection();
} else if(document.getSelection) {
t = document.getSelection();
} else if(document.selection) {
t = document.selection.createRange().text;
}
return t;
}
$("#myElement").select(function(eventObject) {
alert(getSelected().toString());
});
Or
$('#myElement').select(function(e) {
var start = e.target.selectionStart;
var end = e.target.selectionEnd;
alert($('#myElement').val().substring(start, end));
});
The second one is perfect. Don't know how much cross-browser the first one is...
