document.selection is an IE-specific legacy way to get text that the user has "selected" (highlighted with the mouse) on a web page.

It's now deprecated in favour of the standards-based document.getSelection() - see the MDN documentation for more info.

There are already jQuery plugins that make this cross-browser, e.g jquery-textrange
