Slctr

The principles behind Slctr have been used in UI design for years, the most obvious and well-known example being the way users can select content by drag and drop in Adobe Reader.

Slctr implements a similar such system for Web content, allowing a user to make a rectangular selection using his mouse.

For each made selection, the end and start points are recorded, along with the selection's size.

This way the selection can be programmatically recorded and re-enacted or (re-)used for other operations.

A small demo is included with the download package.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• jQuery
