    var doc = document;
    var text = doc.getElementById(element);    
 
    if (doc.body.createTextRange) { // ms
        var range = doc.body.createTextRange();
        range.moveToElementText(text);
        range.select();
    } else if (window.getSelection) { // moz, opera, webkit
        var selection = window.getSelection();            
        var range = doc.createRange();
        range.selectNodeContents(text);
        selection.removeAllRanges();
