Name

Document.createRange( ): create a Range object — DOM Level 2 Range:

Synopsis

Range createRange( );

Returns

A newly created Range object with both boundary points set to the beginning of the document.

Description

This method creates a Range object that can be used to represent a region of this document or of a DocumentFragment associated with this document.

Note that this method is actually defined not by the Document interface but by the DocumentRange interface. If an implementation supports the Range module, the Document object always implements DocumentRange and defines this method. Internet Explorer 6 does not support this module.
