Name
getBookmark( ), moveToBookmark( ) — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
getBookmark( )
moveToBookmark(bookmarkString
)
These two methods work together as a way to temporarily save a text
range specification and restore it when needed. The
getBookmark( )
method returns an opaque string
(containing binary data that is of no value to human users). Once
that value is stored in a variable, the range can be modified as
needed for the script. Some time later, the bookmarked text range can
be restored with the moveToBookmark( )
method:
var rangeMark = myRange.getBookmark( ) ... myRange.moveToBookmark(rangeMark)
Returned Value
Boolean value: true
if the operation is
successful; false
if unsuccessful.
Parameters
-
bookmarkString
An opaque string returned by the
getBookmark( )
method.
