[wp-hackers] Press It "bug" in Firefox 0.9

[Carthik Sharma]

I may have got the error because I clicked the Press It bookmarklet
when viewing a page in a Tab, or for some other obscure reason.
In any case, I could not get it to work and I found the message I
related earlier, using  the Tools -> Javascript console option in
Firefox.

I don't know enough Javascript to know if  document.getSelection() is
indeed deprecated, but I did find the same problem related in the
following articles:
http://philringnalda.com/blog/2002/11/mt_bookmarklet_xhtml_11_applicationxhtmlxml.php
http://glot.mit.edu/mtblog/archives/000086.php

and so I guess it is a generic problem.

Carthik.
