Dear Support,

I am trying to implement a custom Link Chooser (link icon).
I have code set up that when the link icon gets clicked, it calls a stand alone (in its own file) javascript function.

This javascript function attempts to get the "Selected Text" that the user is trying to add an A tag to.

This is the code that I have:

*****
    var popupLink_Start = "", popupLink_End = "", popupLink_Selection = "";   
    var items;
    var originalText = selectedText.getHTML();

    // Get the current Selection text
    popupLink_Selection = selectedText.GetSelection();
    // unlink the current selection, in case its already linked using Cute's Javascript API
    selectedText.GetSelection().createRange().execCommand("Unlink");
    // Split the editor content
    items = new String(selectedText.getHTML()).split(poupLink_Selection);
    // Get the Front portion of the content and the Rear portion of the content in terms of selected text   
    popupLink_Start = items[0];
    popupLink_End = items[1];
     result = window.showModalDialog(path + "LinkChooser.aspx?siteId=" + siteId + "&linkId=" + arguments[2].value  + "&v=", null, "height=400,width=350,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no");

    selectedText.ExecCommand("insertlink",false,result[0]);
    selectedText.focus();

******
   
The code above that is bold red does NOT return the currently selected text.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to have this Javascript function in the same page as the cute editor?

Please let me know, thank you, regards,

George Gomez
