How do I get the highlight value from a TextArea or TextFields for both Netscape and IE?

Can't be done for Netscape. See the referenced answer.

For IE, try:

var myRange = document.selection.createRange();

myRange can then be manipulated (you might especially want to use
its "text" and "htmlText" attributes):

myRange.text = 'blah ' + myRange.htmlText + ' blah';
