WebKit does not support the createTextRange JavaScript method, nor the moveStart and moveEnd methods of createTextRange. These are useful, for instance for sites such as Google Suggest and other AJAX interfaces.

The second button in the test case works. However the first still does not. The test case should probably be updated.

createTextRange was a MSIE-specific API. WebKit does support modern alternatives (createRange, etc.)
