You can use getSelection() to get the selection. It contains a number of 
DOM Range objects. In Firefox 3.6, you can use getClientRects() or 
getBoundingClientRect() on those range objects to get the rectangles of 
each part of the selection. The former returns a list of each rectangle 
for each line or piece of the selection, whereas the latter returns the 
total bounding box.
