Hi,

I am working for an article based website. One of the requirement is that user select text and he gets an option to highlight the selected text or takes notes.

Is there any example that I can refer?

Thanks

Up-voted! Valuable answer. Why someone down-voted? I don't know.

Thank you, Maciej.
It looks like someone performed mass down-voting action, on some other experts, too... :-)

Several times today ;(
I "hate" people who do that without any explanation.

It's going on right now... pretty nasty and stupid...
Well, frankly, some posts do deserve down-votes without any explanations, because some just fool around and act in totally irresponsible ways. But we all usually answer pretty seriously (even if it is with humor :-)...
