Hi,
I am facing the difficulty in the selecting a text on the browser . And highlighting the text.
I am using the window.getSelection() to get the object and after that i am using the range.getRangeAt(0).cloneContents() method for getting the copy of the document content my requirement is to get the exact html text . But when we are assigning the text into the innerHTML it complete the DOm structure i m not getting the exact HTML text of the document . For example :- if user select the text <i>"why"</i></b> now i m getting the html text as <b><i>"why"</i></b> after applying the below code code. This is the code that i m using :-
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>The serialized HTML of a selection in Mozilla and IE</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getHTMLOfSelection () {
var range;
if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
range = document.selection.createRange();
return range.htmlText;
}
else if (window.getSelection) {
var selection = window.getSelection();
if (selection.rangeCount > 0) {
range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
var clonedSelection = range.cloneContents();
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.appendChild(clonedSelection);
return div.innerHTML;
}
else {
return '';
}
}
else {
return '';
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p>Some text to test the selection on.
Kibology for <b>all</b>. All <i>for</i> Kibology.
</p>
</div>
<form action="">
<p>
<input type="button" value="show HTML of selection"
onclick="this.form.output.value = getHTMLOfSelection();">
</p>
<p>
<textarea name="output" rows="5" cols="80"></textarea>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
