How do I get HTML Markup for createRange() in Firefox
- by OneNerd
I am currently using code similar to this:
try {
// IE ONLY
var theElement = "myElementName";
window.frames[theElement].focus();
var selection = window.frames[theElement].document.selection.createRange();
alert ( selection.htmlText );
} catch(e) {
var selection = window.frames[theElement].document.getSelection();
alert ( selection );
}
As you can see, I am accessing a node from an iframe (no fun already). I am definitely in new territory here, so am sure there are more issues to arise, but right now, I am trying to get Firefox to give me the same result as IE.
In IE, I can access the HTML code of the selection by using the (apparently IE-only) htmlText property of the object returned by createRange(). What I am looking for is the Firefox equivalent to that (or a function that I can use to give me the same result).
Anyone know how to do this?
