yes, it indeed is

selection = getSelectedText();
if(selection.length >= 3) {
    $(this).html($(this).html().addClass("selected");
}

to

selection = getSelectedText();
if(selection.length >= 3) {
      var $spn = $("<span></span>").html(selection).addClass
("selected");
      // append/set this '$spn' inside another DOM object
}

to note, your original/non-working code seems to be trying to set the
".html" of an <input> or <textarea>, that's not a valid method to do
on such items
