Is there a particularly jQuery-ish way to determine if there is text selected on the screen? I've googled around for some code on this subject, but I want to be sure that whatever I use is cross-browser compatible. It's been my experience that if I let jQuery do the heavy lifting for me, that my solutions are always compatible across the major browsers.
What I'm specifically needing to do is see if the length of what the user has selected in a text field is the same as the length of all of the text in that field. Make sense? In other words, if I've got a text box with fifteen characters in it, I want to know the length of their selection (zero to fifteen). Thanks!
