I'm looking for a way to set a selection in a textarea in Internet Explorer. In other browsers, this works just fine:
textarea.selectionStart = start;
textarea.selectionEnd = end;
In IE, I assume I have to use createRange and adjust the selection somehow, but I cannot figure out how.
Extra bonus points for a link to a proper documentation about createRange and associated methods, MSDN isn't helping out much.
