Description Robbie Paplin 2008-03-26 14:31:38 PDT 
What we are attempting to do here is emulate the ability that Internet Explorer has to get the offsetTop & offsetLeft of a TextRange.
As you are aware the Range object that Safari & Firefox implement does not have offsetTop & offsetLeft properties.
In order to obtain this information, we temporarily insert a SPAN into a Range, calculate the offsetTop & offsetLeft properties of the newly inserted SPAN, and then remove the SPAN from our Range.

BTW - If you know of a better way to get the approximate offsetTop & offsetLeft position of range, let us know.
