Applescript + javascript = copy highlighted web text

[jon]

I have an Applescript that copies highlighted or selected webpage
text.

tell application "Internet Explorer"
set theWindowInfo to GetWindowInfo (item 1 of (ListWindows))
set theText to selected text
end tell

I am trying to have it "select all" webpage text then assign it to
theText to be used later. In other words, I need a way of selecting
all web page text of the open window so I can use it later. I am not
apposed to using javascript in an applescript. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,

In modern browsers you could walk the DOM tree with javascript and extract
most of the text on a page, I think.
