I need to get a selected text from textarea

I quite like this library: http://code.google.com/p/rangy/wiki/DocumentationHome

Thx, but I already find a solution for my problem.

Code:

function InsertBBCode() {

if(document.getSelection) {

area_val = area.value.substring(0,area.selectionStart) + first_bb_arr +

area.value.substring(area.selectionStart,area.selectionEnd) +

sec_bb_arr + area.value.substring(area.selectionEnd,area.value.length);

area.value = area_val;

} else {

var selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text;

if(selectedText!='') {

var newText = first_bb_arr + selectedText + sec_bb_arr;

document.selection.createRange().text = newText;

}

}

}
