Love is the most precious thing of this world. So find it and grab it!

when you drag a mouse clicked over a text it's selected and that part of the text is highlighted!
Do you call it elseway?

Hello nerssi,

So, you mean you have an <input> element, that has text in it, and you want to know if there is any selected? Or do you have a <textarea>? Or is it just an area that has text? (like a <div> or a <span>)

There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once :-)

My selecting problem is already solved via "document.selection.createRange().text"(which has nothing to do with what is selected and it works fine with everything )and I hate to waste time on what is already solved, so please help me with the new one(please)!
how shall I move the cursor in an input type="text"
I've already tried this one without any result:

xInputText.focus();
xInputText.createTextRange().move("character",-2);

it just does nothing!
what shall I do?
