The mozilla version works, and the Safari version used to work (old safari). The two examples below are meant as bookmarklets. Safari will report that the returned object is a range object, but I cannot do anything with this object, such as get the start/ end containers/offsets. Interestingly toString() does not work either, yet if it is concatinated with a string, it does work. safari: <a href="javascript:d=window.getSelection();alert(d.startContainer.data);">getStartContainerText() </a> mozilla: <a href="javascript:d=window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);alert (d.startContainer.data);">getStartContainerText()</a> 17300 1 3542 berndtj 2005-08-23 17:45:36 -0700 Created attachment 3542 test cases Drag the links to the bookmark bar to test 18989 2 oliver 2005-09-07 04:29:36 -0700 Nice test case, although interestingly ffx seems to be able to do both mozilla+safari mechanisms for at least one test 26470 3 ap 2005-12-24 04:28:10 -0800 Actually, window.getSelection() does not return a Range object - it returns a Selection object (with type None, Caret or Range), which doesn't have startContainer <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ DOM:Selection>. The patch in bug 4904 adds support for getRangeAt, so the "Mozilla" way starts to work. Keeping this bug to track the problem with toString(). 26471 4 5259 ap 2005-12-24 05:09:19 -0800 Created attachment 5259 test case 27674 5 justin.garcia 2006-01-03 15:05:13 -0800 Landing the toString fix. Turns out it was defined as a method on our JS Selection object, but we didn't handle it in Selection::callAsFunction getRangeAt and toString should now behave like they do in FF. 3542 2005-08-23 17:45:36 -0700 2005-12-24 05:09:19 -0800 test cases getSelection.htm text/html 1195 berndtj PCFET0NUWVBFIEhUTUwgUFVCTElDICItLy9XM0MvL0RURCBIVE1MIDQuMDEgVHJhbnNpdGlvbmFs Ly9FTiINImh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnL1RSL2h0bWw0L2xvb3NlLmR0ZCI+DTxodG1sPg08aGVh ZD4NPHRpdGxlPlVudGl0bGVkIERvY3VtZW50PC90aXRsZT4NPG1ldGEgaHR0cC1lcXVpdj0iQ29u dGVudC1UeXBlIiBjb250ZW50PSJ0ZXh0L2h0bWw7IGNoYXJzZXQ9dXRmLTgiPg08L2hlYWQ+DQ08 Ym9keT4NPGRpdj48cD5CZWxvdyBhcmUgc29tZSBib29rbWFya2xldHM6PC9wPg0JPHA+VGhpcyBz aG91bGQgZ3JhYiB0aGUgdGV4dCB5b3UgaGF2ZSBzZWxlY3RlZDogKHdvcmtzIGluIHNhZmFyaSk8 L3A+DQk8cD5zYWZhcmk6IDxhIGhyZWY9ImphdmFzY3JpcHQ6ZD13aW5kb3cuZ2V0U2VsZWN0aW9u KCk7YWxlcnQoZCk7Ij5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb25UZXh0KCk8L2E+PGJyIC8+bW96aWxsYTogPGEgaHJl Zj0iamF2YXNjcmlwdDpkPXdpbmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb24oKS5nZXRSYW5nZUF0KDApO2FsZXJ0 KGQpOyI+Z2V0U2VsZWN0aW9uVGV4dCgpPC9hPjwvcD4NCTxwPlRoaXMgdmVyaWZpZXMgdGhhdCB0 aGUgc2VsZWN0ZWQgdGV4dCBpcyBhIHJhbmdlIG9iamVjdDogKHdvcmtzIGluIHNhZmFyaSk8L3A+ DQk8cD5zYWZhcmk6IDxhIGhyZWY9ImphdmFzY3JpcHQ6ZD13aW5kb3cuZ2V0U2VsZWN0aW9uKCk7 YWxlcnQoZC50eXBlKTsiPnZlcmlmeVJhbmdlKCk8L2E+PGJyIC8+bW96aWxsYTogPGEgaHJlZj0i amF2YXNjcmlwdDpkPXdpbmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb24oKS5nZXRSYW5nZUF0KDApO2FsZXJ0KGQu dHlwZSk7Ij52ZXJpZnlSYW5nZSgpPC9hPjwvcD4NCTxwPlRoaXMgc2hvdWxkIGdldCB0aGUgdGV4 dCBvZiB0aGUgc2VsZWN0aW9uJiM4MjE3O3Mgc3RhcnQgY29udGFpbmVyOiAoYnJva2VuKTwvcD4N CTxwPnNhZmFyaTogPGEgaHJlZj0iamF2YXNjcmlwdDpkPXdpbmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb24oKTth bGVydChkLnN0YXJ0Q29udGFpbmVyLmRhdGEpOyI+Z2V0U3RhcnRDb250YWluZXJUZXh0KCk8L2E+ PGJyIC8+DSAgbW96aWxsYTogPGEgaHJlZj0iamF2YXNjcmlwdDpkPXdpbmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rp b24oKS5nZXRSYW5nZUF0KDApO2FsZXJ0KGQuc3RhcnRDb250YWluZXIuZGF0YSk7Ij5nZXRTdGFy dENvbnRhaW5lclRleHQoKTwvYT48L3A+DTwvZGl2Pg08L2Rpdj4NPC9ib2R5Pg08L2h0bWw+DQ== 5259 2005-12-24 05:09:19 -0800 2005-12-24 05:09:19 -0800 test case selection-tostring.html text/html 608 ap PGh0bWw+IAo8aGVhZD4KCjxzY3JpcHQ+Cgo8L3NjcmlwdD4KCjx0aXRsZT53aW5kb3cuZ2V0U2Vs ZWN0aW9uKCkudG9TdHJpbmcoKTwvdGl0bGU+IAo8L2hlYWQ+IAo8Ym9keSBpZD10PgpIZWxsbwo8 c2NyaXB0PgoKICAgIHRyeSB7IC8vIEZpcmVmb3ggd2F5CiAgICAgIHJhbmdlID0gZG9jdW1lbnQu Y3JlYXRlUmFuZ2UoKTsKICAgICAgcmFuZ2Uuc2VsZWN0Tm9kZShkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50 QnlJZCgidCIpKTsKICAgICAgd2luZG93LmdldFNlbGVjdGlvbigpLmFkZFJhbmdlKHJhbmdlKTsK ICAgIH0gY2F0Y2ggKGV4KSB7fQogICAgCiAgICB0cnkgeyAvLyBTYWZhcmkgd2F5CiAgICAgIHdp bmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb24oKS5zZXRCYXNlQW5kRXh0ZW50KGRvY3VtZW50LmdldEVsZW1lbnRC eUlkKCJ0IiksIDAsIGRvY3VtZW50LmdldEVsZW1lbnRCeUlkKCJ0IiksIDEpOwogICAgfSBjYXRj aCAoZXgpIHt9CiAgICAKICAgIGRvY3VtZW50LndyaXRlKCI8cD53aW5kb3cuZ2V0U2VsZWN0aW9u KCkudG9TdHJpbmcoKTogIiArIHdpbmRvdy5nZXRTZWxlY3Rpb24oKS50b1N0cmluZygpICsgIjwv cD4iKTsKICAgIAo8L3NjcmlwdD4KCjwvYm9keT4KPC9odG1sPgo=
