I have been unable to trigger an onselect event handler attached to a <div> element. Is it possible to force a <div> to emit select events?

According to w3schools, onSelect is only defined on input and textarea objects.
You may however try to catch the MouseUp event and retrieve the selected text in the current window/document.
