I am able to highlight the text on the HTML page(rendered through gtkmozembed), which is selected, like below.
var range, sel;
if (window.getSelection) {
sel = window.getSelection();
if (sel.getRangeAt) {
range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
}
document.designMode = "on";
if (range) {
sel.removeAllRanges();
sel.addRange(range);
}
document.execCommand("HiliteColor", false, colour);
document.designMode = "off";
}
Well,it works very fine.Now i am trying to store the information(startNode, startOffset,endNode, endOffset) about the highlighted text, and next time when i open the same page,highlight the same text.
I am able to successfully store the info and retrieve them when the same page opens.
And i am trying to highlight the text using following code.
var range = document.createRange();
range.setStart(startNode, startOffset);
range.setEnd(endNode, endOffset);
document.designMode = "on";
range.execCommand("HiliteColor", false, colour);
document.designMode = "off";
But it is not working as i am expecting. Can anyone help me to achieve the required? Thanks...
