Cool and easy to get selected text but wait...
What about getting the [b]position[/b] of the selection in the whole string (indexOf)?
If I select "The methods of handling this" on this page, I'll be ok.
If I select "this", I will get the index of the first occurence of "this" on this page : the one from "Rate this article" at the top.
Any idea?

I have an html page. I select some portion of text on this page with the mouse. I want to introduce start and end tags at the beginning and end of the selected area of text.
I wish to name these tags as <one> and </one> and insert them in the html file at the respective positions.
I shall do this for several selections.
I shall then parse this html file for these tag names to identify the selected text and store the names in a table for future use.
Please help me with javascript or vbscript code to achieve the same.
Thanks
