- you'll need to find a suitable jQuery plugin.zzzzBov– zzzzBov2010-11-11 15:22:46 +00:00Commented Nov 11, 2010 at 15:22

It appears the the $("input").select(); is able to detect if text is selected.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to accomplish, but you may want to view http://api.jquery.com/select/ for a basic demo of the functionality. Feel free to provide more details on how you want to implement this, and I'll be happy to try and build onto the demo.

I think this might be up the the browser to handle - not sure if every browser handles text selection in inputs the same way.
You could however check for focus and blur events, are you familiar with these?

There's a plugin which will detect whether it is selected: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/selectedText. As selecting text, I'm not sure.
