so first, you'll want create handler function:

function highlighthandler(e) { // highlighted text var text = document.getselection(); // check if highlighted if(text !== '') { // we've got highlight, stuff here dostuff(text); } }

and then, you'll need bind document:

document.onmouseup = highlighthandler;

and finally, write dostuff function want do:

function dostuff(text) { // cool }
