howto get HTML code from selection?

I have a selection object (and I can do range from it). How to get HTML
code of this selection or range?

You should be able to just do .toString() on it.

Kind of a hack but in a HTML document you can do e.g.

var selection = window.getSelection();
var range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
if (range) {
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.appendChild(range.cloneContents());
alert(div.innerHTML);
}

Hi,
I know this subject is almost 3 years old, but I'm looking for the same solution, tried the patch,
and it doesn't work for me: still getting text with no HTML (FF 3.5)
Have you found another solution?
