Use script like this one:


    public static native String getSelection() /*-{
       var txt = '';
       if ($wnd.getSelection) {
           txt = $wnd.getSelection();
       } else if ($wnd.document.getSelection) {
           txt = $wnd.document.getSelection();
       } else if ($wnd.document.selection) {
           txt = $wnd.document.selection.createRange().text;
       }
       return txt;
    }-*/;
