function selected() {
var selObj = window.getSelection();
}
This function returns selected text from a webpage. How do return the html of a selected area. Is this possible to do with an <img> and an <a> tag?
Here's the list of functions:

The following will do this in all major browsers and is an exact duplicate of this answer:
function getSelectionHtml() {
var html = ;
if (typeof window.getSelection != undefined) {
var sel = window.getSelection();
if (sel.rangeCount) {
var container = document.createElement(div);
for (var i = 0, len = sel.rangeCount; i < len; ++i) {
container.appendChild(sel.getRangeAt(i).cloneContents());
}
html = container.innerHTML;
}
} else if (typeof document.selection != undefined) {
if (document.selection.type == Text) {
html = document.selection.createRange().htmlText;
}
}
return html;
}
