Remarks
A text range has two endpoints: one at the beginning of the text range and one at the end. An endpoint can also be the position between two characters in an HTML document.
In Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0, an endpoint is relative to text only, not HTML tags.
There are four possible endpoint locations in the following HTML.
<BODY><P><B>abc
The possible endpoint locations are:
- Before the letter a.
- Between the letters a and b.
- Between the letters b and c.
- After the letter c.
In Internet Explorer 4.0, an endpoint cannot be established between body and p. Specifying an endpoint between body and p is interpreted as if it occurs before the letter a.
This feature might not be available on platforms other than Microsoft Win32®.
Example
The following example shows how to use the setEndPoint method to set the start point of the current range (r1) to the endpoint of the second range (r2).
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
r1.setEndPoint("StartToEnd", r2);
</SCRIPT>
