On Text Highlight Event?

by

There isn’t any onhighlightext or anything like that, but a solution would be to bind onmouseup to check if any text is selected if this isn’t in a input/textarea.

Edit

Here’s an implementation example for you. I only tested this in Chrome/Firefox/IE7. This works in inputs as well.

Code from JSFiddle:

var t="";
function gText(e) {
    t = (document.all) ? document.selection.createRange().text : document.getSelection();

    document.getElementById('input').value = t;
}

document.onmouseup = gText;
if (!document.all) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);
<input type="text" id='input' />
In software, a stack overflow occurs when too much memory is used on the call stack. The call stack contains a limited amount of memory, often determined at the start of the program. The size of the call stack depends on many factors, including the programming language, machine architecture, multi-threading, and amount of available memory. When too much memory is used on the call stack the stack is said to overflow, typically resulting in a program crash.[1] This class of software bug is usually caused by one of two types of programming errors.[2]
