Description Sridhar Gurivireddy 2007-05-24 10:25:26 PDT 
selection.modify() does not work when "move" is specified as first argument.

var selection = window.getSelection();
selection.modify("move", "forward", "sentence");

This works in Firefox

Selection::modify is Safari only, FF doesn't support it afaict.  I'm not sure why you'd be having problems with selection.modify("move", "forward", "sentence"), can you include the entire test case?

I see.  The test tries to modify a non-editable selection.
Comment 4 Alexey Proskuryakov 2007-10-05 04:58:06 PDT 
Marking confirmed per the above comment (there doesn't seem to be any reason to restrict selection.modify() to editable content).
