Hi Abdulkadar, Maybe this will help: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/JavaScriptAPI Thanks -Vincent On 15 Sep 2015 at 16:38:38, PATEL, ABDULKADAR (abdulkadar.patel(a)capgemini.com) wrote: 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.

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 _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

Thanks Eduard for your reply. I have created a JavaScript extension and added jquery code that will give me highlighted text value. Please find attached screenshot of the same. But this extension is working only in edit mode. Could you please suggest what might be the issue?

It simply uses javascript on the HTML output. Have you read the Skin Extensions tutorial [1] on how to plug in your JavaScript/CSS in XWiki? In other words, if you want to do something like what you`ve described, there is no XWiki default feature for it, since there was no current usecase to justify it. The only way to achieve it, at the moment, is to develop it yourself using a JSX (JavaScript Extension). Sure, you could also make it in a .js file in the webapp's resources folder or in inside a webjar [2], but the JSX is the cleanest and the recommended way to go.
