ASM napsal:
I am writing plugin for FCK editor

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('FCKeditor1');
var eSelected = oEditor.EditorDocument.selection;
var rSelected = eSelected.createRange();

its same like

var rSelected = document.selection.createRange();

Hi Reflex,
In IE, you can only get nodes of type 'element', which would restrict
your requirement. In browsers supporting the W3C Range Model, you could
get to the node level.

Following is some example of the function you are looking for, tested
IE5+, Firefox 2, Opera 9. You may have to filter for the elements
returned by the function, though. Have fun.


HTH,

Thank you so much Elegie. Works great
