object at a time is allowed per page. Use the createRange() method to convert a selection object to a textRange object:

oTextRange = document.selection.createRange();

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function handleSelection() {
  objSelection = document.selection.createRange();
  alert(objSelection.text);
}
</SCRIPT>

Here is the definition for the button below:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" onclick= handleSelection() VALUE='Click Here for Conversion'>
</FORM>
