oTextRange = object.createTextRange ( ) 

Returns a text range object if successful, or null otherwise.

The following JScript™ ( compatible with ECMA-262 language specification ) example creates a text range for the document and then uses the range to display all text and HTML tags in the document.

var rng = document.body.createTextRange ( );
if ( rng!=null ) {
   alert ( rng.htmlText );
}

The following JScript™ example creates a text range for the first BUTTON element in the document and then uses the text range to change the text in the button.

var coll = document.all.tags ( "BUTTON" );
if ( coll!=null && coll.length>0 ) {
   var rng = coll [ 0 ] .createTextRange ( );
   rng.text = "Clicked";
}
