Parameters

iX	Required. Integer that specifies the horizontal offset relative to the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels.
iY	Required. Integer that specifies the vertical offset relative to the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels.

Return Value

Example

This example uses the moveToPoint method to move the text range to the point where the user clicked the mouse, expands the range, and selects the text within the new range.

<SCRIPT FOR=document EVENT=onclick LANGUAGE="JScript">
var rng = document.body.createTextRange();
rng.moveToPoint(window.event.x, window.event.y);
rng.expand("word");
rng.select();
</SCRIPT>
