I am writing some code to find the user selection in a contenteditable div, I'm taking my code from this quirksmode article.
function findSelection(){
var userSelection;
if (window.getSelection) {userSelection = window.getSelection;}
else if (document.selection){userSelection = document.selection.createRange();} // For microsoft
if (userSelection.text){return userSelection.text} //for Microsoft
else {return userSelection}
}
I'm testing it in Chrome and Firefox, if I do an alert(userSelection) within the function or an alert(findSelection();) outside the function, it returns function getSelection() {[native code]}. If I do console.log(findSelection();) it gives me getSelection(). Is there something I've done wrong?
