Internet Development Index

Retrieves a collection of TextRange objects.

Syntax

[ oColl = ] selection.TextRange
[ oObject = ] selection.TextRange(vIndex [, iSubIndex])

Possible Values

oCollArray of elements created with the createRangeCollection method.
oObjectReference to an individual item in the array of elements contained by the object.
vIndexRequired. Integer or string that specifies the element or collection to retrieve. If this parameter is an integer, the method returns the element in the collection at the given position, where the first element has value 0, the second has 1, and so on. If this parameter is a string and there is more than one element with the name or id property equal to the string, the method returns a collection of matching elements.
iSubIndexOptional. Position of an element to retrieve. This parameter is used when vIndex is a string. The method uses the string to construct a collection of all elements that have a name or id property equal to the string, and then retrieves from this collection the element at the position specified by iSubIndex.
