can any one help me to write code to capture selected text from a page but problem is that i am not able to decide where to call the functio.in this case the function is called in all cases of mouse out.
here is the code
[HTML]<html>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var captured = "";
function captext()
{
alert('You have selected'+ captured);
}
var text = "";
function getActiveText(e) {
// Sets text MSIE or Netscape active
// text based on browser, puts text in form
text = (document.all) ? document.selection.createRange().text : document.getSelection();
captured = text;
captext();
document.theform.text.value = text;
return true;
}
document.onmouseup = getActiveText;
if (!document.all) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
// End -->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function popup()
{
var wind1=null;
var tmp=null;
wind1 = window.open('', 'displayWindow', 'width=400,height=300,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar =no,scrollbars=1');
wind1.document.write("<script> function alert1(f){");
wind1.document.write("var frmdst=f.ta.value;");
wind1.document.write("window.opener.tmp=frmdst;");
wind1.document.write("window.opener.getValues();") ;
wind1.document.write("window.close();");
wind1.document.write("}<\/script>");
wind1.document.write("<html><body><form action='#' name='myform' method='post'><TEXTAREA rows='2' cols='20' name='ta'></TEXTAREA><br><INPUT type='button' value='save' onclick='javascript:alert1(this.form);'><INPUT type='button' value='cancel' onclick='javascript:window.close();'></form></body></html>");
}
function getValues()
{
document.forms["source"].elements["srctext"].value = tmp;
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>
<form name=theform>
Selected text: <input type=text name=text value="" size="20">
<br><br>
Entered text: <input type=text name=text1 value="" size="20">
</form>
</center>
<p>
