I'm writing a Firefox extension to select text.

How do I specify the selection in the function call?

<popup id="contentAreaContextMenu">
<menuitem id="helloworld" label="Select It" accesskey="T"
insertafter="context-stop" oncommand="SelectCopy( );"/>
</popup>

I tried running this with void and wrote a function to test this.

var = window.getSelection();
alert("selected text= " + txt);

This always prints null even when I use the toString() I still get
null. Is there an easy way to specify selections?
