Problem getting selection with Firefox 2.0

[Thierry]

I have this textarea with buttons above it to allow for text to get bold tags and everything.

In IE this works fine with CreateRange(); but in Firefox it doesnt work.

I tried to use document.getSelection(); instead but no results, anyone see what I am doing wrong??

 

var browser = navigator.appName;
if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
var text = document.selection.createRange().text;}else{
var text = document.getSelection();}
window.alert(text);

Are you sure FF supports that function?
