Re: [xwiki-devs] text highlighting event

Dear Eduard, I know this basic jquery functionality and I can develop this in a standalone application. The reason I am asking this query to XWIKI developers is because I want to achieve this in XWIKI. :) So my question to be clear here is : Whether we can achieve this using in built functionalities of xwiki like done in add annotation functionality or I have to develop it from scratch like any other web app. I hope you now understand my question. Thanks & Regards, Abdulkadar Patel P.S. : Don't worry, I will not get discouraged but try to learn from everything :) -----Original Message----- From: devs [mailto:devs-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Eduard Moraru Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 7:53 PM To: XWiki Developers Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] text highlighting event Hi, Again, this is not an XWiki related question, but a generic JavaScript (web development actually) question on wich there are many articles, tutorials and forum/stackoverflow answers. As a quick reply, here's a small javascript that alerts the selected message: jQuery(document).on('mouseup', function (event) { var selection = ""; if (window.getSelection) { selection = window.getSelection().toString(); } else if (document.selection && document.selection.type != "Control") { selection = document.selection.createRange().text; } alert('Selected: ' + selection); }); Got that from a quick Google search, which you could do as well if you first spend a bit of time in understanding the basics of web development. If you want to customize or develop from scratch (i.e. not using AppWithinMinutes) XWiki applications, you really need to know at least the basics on web development (HTML, JavaScript, CSS). Hope this helps, Eduard P.S.: Don`t want to discourage you or anything, just hope to guide you in the right direction :) On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 3:52 PM, PATEL, ABDULKADAR < abdulkadar.patel(a)capgemini.com&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
