Answer 2

Use window.getSelection(), which is the most cross-browser compatible (it's supported in the current versions of all major browsers) and is the standard. Chrome certainly supports it as fully as other browsers.

document.selection should only be used for IE < 9.

Answer 3

Use window.getSelection() instead.
