2What do you mean by serializing text? – Nadh Apr 30 '12 at 14:43

@NADH It's not serializing text, it's serializing a selection (meaning the user's highlighted selection). – Tim Down Apr 30 '12 at 15:27

You could use the serializer module of my Rangy library. For a similar but more lightweight solution, you could use this code snippet by Martin Honnen.

Ok good, i have seen that he use xpath but my webView is dynamic, i think that this code will not work if the webView change it's content ? – samir May 02 '12 at 08:31

@iPhoneDev: Yes, that's true. Same is true of the Rangy serializer module. In which case, how do you expect your serialization to work? – Tim Down May 02 '12 at 08:32
