Hi... Currently, the editing toolbar on WikiPedia is guarded by the following: if (!document.selection && !is_gecko) { which disables the functionality on browsers other than IE and Mozilla family. However, the functionality it relies on, textarea.selectionStart/.selectionEnd is supported in other browsers families as well. I've implemented it in konqueror for 3.5.2, there is an independent implementation in development builds of Safari, and Opera 9 preview 1 appears to support it too. It would be appreciated if this test used object-detection insread, so non-mozilla/non-IE users weren't locked out of this functionality. Thanks.
