HTML5 JS API Index > DOM Tutorials & Specs

Range

Range objects are simply known as ranges.

Properties
const unsigned short	END_TO_END = 2
const unsigned short	END_TO_START = 3
const unsigned short	START_TO_END = 1
const unsigned short	START_TO_START = 0
boolean	collapsed The collapsed attribute must return true if start is the same as end, and false otherwise.
Node	commonAncestorContainer
Node	endContainer The endContainer attribute must return the end node.
unsigned long	endOffset The endOffset attribute must return the end offset.
Node	startContainer The startContainer attribute must return the start node.
unsigned long	startOffset The startOffset attribute must return the start offset.

Constructor
Range()

Operations
DocumentFragment	cloneContents() The cloneContents() method must return the result of cloning context object.
Range	cloneRange() The cloneRange() method must return a new range with the same start and end as the context object.
void	collapse(optional boolean toStart) The collapse(toStart) method must if toStart is true, set end to start, and set start to end otherwise.
short	compareBoundaryPoints(unsigned short how, Range sourceRange)
short	comparePoint(Node node, unsigned long offset)
void	deleteContents()
void	detach() The detach() method must do nothing. Its functionality (disabling a Range object) was removed, but the method itself is preserved for compatibility.
DocumentFragment	extractContents() The extractContents() method must return the result of extracting context object.
void	insertNode(Node node) The insertNode(node) method must insert node into context object.
boolean	intersectsNode(Node node)
boolean	isPointInRange(Node node, unsigned long offset)
void	selectNode(Node node) The selectNode(node) method must select node within context object.
void	selectNodeContents(Node node)
void	setEnd(Node node, unsigned long offset) The setEnd(node, offset) method must set the end of the context object to boundary point (node, offset).
void	setEndAfter(Node node)
void	setEndBefore(Node node)
void	setStart(Node node, unsigned long offset) The setStart(node, offset) method must set the start of the context object to boundary point (node, offset).
void	setStartAfter(Node node)
void	setStartBefore(Node node)
void	surroundContents(Node newParent)
