select 2 field

[mduran]

Hi,

Here is my question. Is there some way of

1) select a sentence, paragraph... from a text
2) passing this selection as a value to a (popup) form field, triggered by an onClick event or similar ?

any idea ? thanks a lot !

Could you be more vague? :D Just kidding.

I'll try to be more vague ;-)
Imagine I have a page with an article; then I select the first three sentences with my mouse, and by pushing a button at the bottom of my page I get a pop-up window with a form where my first field is already filled with those three sentences.

Any inspiration ? thx!

I'm guessing it could maybe be done with createRange, but I'm not sure... Sorry. :( The problem would be figuring out which text is selected, not the actually copying part.
