jaronblake Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 you can do this with a textbox and its value<script>function alertme(){alert(document.formname.text1.value);}</script><form name="formname"><input type="text" value="This is the body text. From here I will select text" size="60" name="text1"><input type="button" name="test" id="t1" value="push" onclick="alertme();"></form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17805-getting-selected-text/#findComment-82325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
