Is there a way to get the html string of a JavaScript Range Object in W3C compliant browsers? For example, let us say the user selects the following: Hello <b>World</b> It is possible to get "Hello World" as a string using the Range.toString() method. (In Firefox, it is also possible using the document 's getSelection method.) But I can't seem to find a way to get the inner HTML. After some searching, I've found that the range can be converted to a DocumentFragment Object. But DocumentFragments have no innerHTML property (at least in Firefox; have not tried Webkit or Opera). Which seems odd to

This question already has answers here : How can I make generated content selectable? (2 answers) Let's say I have mark up: <div data-generated="world!">Hello </div> ..with CSS: div:after { content: attr(data-generated); } This produces the text: Hello world! - FIDDLE div:after { content: attr(data-generated); } <div data-generated="world!">Hello </div> BUT... If I try to select / Copy the text - only the 'hello ' part is selectable. Is there any way to select css generated text? NB: 1) I have looked at the spec ( here and here ) regarding generated content and I haven't seen any reference to

I am trying to make Java select 1 random string from a given list. Example of the list of strings: 1153 3494 9509 2 0 0 0 0 1153 3487 9509 2 0 0 0 0 1153 3491 9525 2 0 0 0 0 1153 3464 9513 2 0 0 0 0 Each row is 1 string The idea is that it selects one, waits a certain period (like 7200 seconds) and replaces the previous string with another random string from the list (could be the same). The loop is sort of infinite. Does anyone knows how to do this? Ps. I am pretty much noobie with java :S, so i am afraid just saying i should use an arraylist (for example) wont work :P public static void main

So I'm working on a bookmarklet where it would be ideal for me to grab the content selected by the user using the "loop". Both window.getSelection and document.getSelection are functions that I can call, however, they always return an empty string. I believe the problem is that when you tap on the bookmark icon in Mobile Safari, the selection is released. For example, if you select some text, tap the "+", bookmark or other tab, the selection is unselected even if you cancel. Any thoughts on if it is possible to get at this data at all? Or is this pretty much impossible? I think you would have

I am stumped. I have a form with a dropdown list, and I would like to grab a list of all the values in the list. I pulled the below example from w3 schools (yes, I know it's unreliable, but other solutions on stack overflow seem to be very similar to this). It was not working for me, and I tried plugging it into jsfiddle, but no luck. HTML: <form>Select your favorite fruit: <select id="mySelect"> <option value="a">Apple</option> <option value="o">Orange</option> <option value="p">Pineapple</option> <option value="b">Banana</option> </select> </form> <button type="button" onclick="displayResult
