Methods

The IHTMLDOMRange interface has these methods.

Method	Description
cloneContents	Returns a document fragment containing the nodes of a range. If any nodes are partially selected, their start or end nodes are included.
cloneRange	Returns a new range with boundary points that are equal to the original range.
collapse	Collapses (or removes) a range by moving the insertion point to the beginning or end of the current range.
compareBoundaryPoints	Compares two ranges by comparing their boundary points.
deleteContents	Removes all contents within a selected range.
detach	Removes or detaches an object and associated resources.
extractContents	Removes the contents of a range from a document or document fragment and puts it a new document fragment.
getBoundingClientRect	Retrieves an object that specifies the bounds of a collection of TextRectangle objects.
getClientRects	Retrieves a collection of rectangles that describes the layout of the contents of an object or range within the client. Each rectangle describes a single line.
insertNode	Inserts a node into the start of a Range object.
selectNode	Selects a range node and all of its contents.
selectNodeContents	Selects the contents within a node in a range.
setEnd	Sets the end point of the range.
setEndAfter	Sets the end of a range to a point after a specific node.
setEndBefore	Sets the end of the range to a point before a specific node.
setStart	Sets the starting point of a range.
setStartAfter	Sets the starting point of the range to a point after a specific node.
setStartBefore	Sets the start point of a range to a point before a specific node.
surroundContents	Moves the contents of a Range to a new parent node, placing the new parent node at the start position of the Range.

endContainer	Retrieves the end point node of the current range.
endOffset	Retrieves the ending boundary point relative to the IHTMLDOMRange::startContainer in the current range.
startContainer	Retrieves the starting node of a current range.
startOffset	Retrieves the offset of the starting boundary point relative to the IHTMLDOMRange::startContainer in the current range.
