Does chrome supports document.selection?

Question

I am new to javascript, trying to perform:

document.selection.createRange();

but document.selection always returns undefined.

I am using latest version of chrome.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks!

Answer 1

Use window.getSelection(), which is the most cross-browser compatible (it's supported in the current versions of all major browsers) and is the standard. Chrome certainly supports it as fully as other browsers.

document.selection should only be used for IE < 9.

Answer 2

Try document.getSelection() or window.getSelection().

Here's a quick example that I tested in chrome
