Abstraction for TextRange objects?

[beetle]

Anybody got/seen one? Doing TextRange operations cross-brower is driving me batty.

Alas, I think I'll have to write my own on this one, again [img]images/smilies/bawling.gif[/img]

Thats all I know on this matter.

Thanks Arkkimaagi, but that stuff is hella-old.

I think I'm just gonna have to handle each case (IE and Gecko) separately, since their implementations are so different, crossover in function is merely coincidence.

What are you trying to do?

[beetle]

I'm writing a cross-browser RTE and I need some decent range/selection handling for various operations.

Hmmm... did a lot of searching... looks like many people reached the same conclusion ("Alas, I think I'll have to write my own "), but I can't find where anyone actually implemented one and then made it available.

Well, the problem is what I mentioned before - abstracting the two implementations is difficult because they are so different. It's not like like a few property or method differences, the entire interface is different.

Thanks for the kind words in regard to the editor [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
