selection object

[Aidan]

I am trying to achieve in Netscape what I can achieve in IE by
document.select ion.empty(). This will remove the highlighting created by
Ctrl A or by dragging over text on a page. I can access the selection object
in NS using window.getSelec tion() but I have not found any way to clear it
so as to remove the highlighting. I have tried the collapse() method but
that does not do it. Any tips would be appreciated.
thanks,
Aidan

window.getSelec tion.RemoveAllR anges(); perhaps? See:

Er, not quite. Let's make that:

window.getSelec tion().removeAl lRanges();
as per the reference.
