Hey folks, I'm a noob so go easy on me, and thanks for reading. I'm writing a bookmarklet which allows you to select various elements from a page and save them to your own personal blog (a bit like ffffound or the Wordpress PressIt feature)
The user will select 3 parts from the page they want to save: 1) Title (easy, just detect a click on an html element and make sure it's a span/p/h1/h2/h3 etc) 2) Image (i've figured this out too) 3) Body text I'm stuck with grabbing the body text - I think it should be selected manually, as it could consist of multiple p's and div's, or even table rows, depending on how badly the source page has been coded. When the use has selected the text, it should be highlighted somehow using css — looking at http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/6dbbfd9cafd98cf6, I know that getSelection won't work, but I'm not sure what to do exactly...? Any tips on how to sequence these 3 steps into something user-friendly would also be much appreciated, I was thinking maybe using Growl-like notifications to guide the user through the process... Cheers.
