Re: Selection is lost when button is clicked in Safari 1.3

Thanks for the reply.

If the required action is simply to call execCommand, the onClick event seems to work fine. Note that in my case the html text is in an iframe. The buttons are on the main window.

But for more complex scripts that need to work on selections and ranges, unless I have done something wrong, it seems that the properties of the selection returned by the getSelection() method are wrong. These properties are identified in another thread of this list.

For example, I have been unable to build the range corresponding to a simple text selection using the following sequence:
var sel = window.getSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.setStart(sel.baseNode, sel.baseOffset);
range.setEnd(sel.extentNode, sel.extentOffset);

I have seen no difference from within the onMouseDown event.

Using onMouseDown instead of onClick allows you to get the event and call the appropriate execCommand value before the selection is lost.
