Synopsis

Selects all the text that is included in the current TextRange object. This method brings some visual confirmation to users that a script knows about a particular block of text. For example, if you were scripting a search with the findText( ) method, you would then use the scrollIntoView( ) and select( ) methods on that range to show the user where the matching text is.
