We'll see more on text ranges in Chapter 11; they let you work with text grouped together into an object. Here's a preview, where I'm using a text range to rewrite the text in a <DIV> element, and using the isTextEdit : (Listing 05-15.html on the web site) <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Using Text Ranges </TITLE> <SCRIPT LANGAUGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function replaceText() { if(document.body.isTextEdit){ var range = document.body.createTextRange() range.moveToElementText(div1) range.pasteHTML("Here is the replacement text!") } } // --> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Using Text Ranges</H1> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Click Me!" onclick="replaceText()"> <BR> <BR> <DIV ID="div1" STYLE="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-weight:bold"> Click the button to replace all this text. </DIV> </BODY> </HTML> You can see the results in Figure 5.12, where I've clicked the button and replaced the original text with new text.
