get text with html formating by Selection

I need your Help

How can I get text with html formating by Selection (FF2 + FF3)?

I can only select text without html formating ...

var fckeditr = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('mycontent');
var selection = fckeditr.EditorDocument.getSelection();
fckeditr.InsertHtml('<em class="abstract">'+ selection + '</em>');

I need the functionality for an Button:
- add em.abstract for an selection, but the orginal-format should be retained.

With my Code i loose the orginal html format ...

Re: get text with html formating by Selection

getSelection() pretty much mirrors the DOM getSelection() call. In Firefox, you can get the starting and ending node of the selection, generate a list of all child nodes in each of those parent nodes, then test each one to see if it's inside the selection.
See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:Selection for details.

However, in order to get it to work in IE, you probably need to look at the following code snippet:

I have no idea what other browsers might require...

@LesBarstow Many Thanx for your help ...

window.Selection ... :idea: EditorDocument change to EditorWindow

var fckeditr = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('mycontent');
var selection = fckeditr.EditorWindow.getSelection();
//fckeditr.InsertHtml('<em class="abstract">'+ selection + '</em>');
