I was thinking about highlighting quoted text. Suppose someone quoted a post to begin with quoting a post, the whole post gets highlighted. So does other posts that are selected for multi quote. That gives an idea to users that these text will be quoted.

A very nice feature that comes with almost all leading scripts. It's time Elk has it too.

In addition to the above, I would love a quote with full link. Let say one want to quote from a forum and post to another page / site, it will have proper link back to that forum.

Just for the record: with the code above I was experimenting how to grab the selected text on mouseup events.
The problem I encountered with the original code (at least with the browser I'm using on this computer that is (still) a very old version of Opera, so it may not be relevant any more) is that it wraps the selected text with a newly created element in order to grab the innerHTML and return it. So the options I was considering were: 1) if the code is irrelevant due to the browser (not tested because I was in a hurry), 2) if it was possible to "clone" the selection and wrap the cloned selection (I tried using jQuery, but without success), 3) if it was possible to use some neutral tag (i.e. a span) and maybe remove it afterwards.

What does the wrap do in Opera? Does it cause a line break or some format issue?

In the original forum yes because it was using a p tag, in the version I posted (removed the stupid code I added), so using the span, is was fine I think.
