hi peter-paul

i like how you think

your button link does nothing in ie4 but the text link works fine, the
selected text does show up in the text box

by the way, there are several bookmarklets that use this feature -- e.g.
send an email with selected text, make a new web page with selected text,
count words in selected text

see http://bookmarklets.com/tools/data/index.phtml
