Need some help with the function used to clear a selection.

In IE it is:
document.selection.empty()

In other browsers I got as far as
document.getSelection()..... then I don’t know what the function is to deselect or clear the selection.

Thanks.

Maybe sel.removeAllRanges();?

Javascript isn't my thing, it's PHP. Just trying to help ;)

Good luck!

P.S. Sometimes a google search may reveal something useful.

Well, I was still scratching my head for a while but in case anyone was wondering document.getSelection().removeAllRanges() doesn't work, but window.getSelection().removeAllRanges() does.

Thanks eelixduppy.
