Availability
Dreamweaver 2.0, deprecated in 3.0 in favor of dom.setSelection()
.
Description
Sets the selection in the current document. This function can move the selection only within the current document; it cannot change the focus to a different document.
Arguments
offsetBegin
, offsetEnd
The arguments are the begin and end points, respectively, for the new selection, expressed as byte offsets into the document's HTML source code. If the two numbers are the same, the new selection is an insertion point. If the new selection is not a valid HTML selection, it is expanded to include the characters in the first valid HTML selection. For example, if offsetBegin
and offsetEnd
define the range SRC="myImage.gif"
within <IMG SRC="myImage.gif">
, the selection expands to include the entire IMG
tag.
Returns
Nothing.
