I'm trying to make my own WYSIWYG editor. Is there a way to get the text which has the user selected in a textarea?

For example, if the user selects some word and then clicks button, how do I find out which text was selected?

I'm using jQuery.

Try the jquery-fieldselection plugin.

You can download it from here. There is an example too.
