The document.getElementById().select() method doesn't work in all browsers so there needs to be some sort of "patched" function to get the selection. See the linked blog entry for details ( http://blog.0xab.cd/jquery-plugin---fieldselection ).
The plugin is actually quite small and succinct, so I'm sure it would be easy to "unJQuerify".
