document.selection, get full text for container element

[citron]

I would like to get the full text content inside an element, even if only a part of the text is selected.

Would be possible to modify this code some how to take this into account?

if (window.getSelection){
            selection=window.getSelection();
        }
        else if (document.getSelection){
            selection=document.getSelection();
        }
        else if (document.selection){
            selection=document.selection.createRange();
        }
alert(selection);

if you want something beyond the selection, you can’t use the Selection object directly. I’d try getting the Node of the selection and use .textContent.
