Fixed detection of whether selections can support multiple ranges;
Improved setRanges() method of selection objects to allow "Control" type selections in IE.

I've also written a large chunk of documentation in the Wiki area that's still unfinished but better than none, which is what there was previously.

6 October 2010

Released new build of the core. Most core changes are on the Selection object. Documentation progressing slowly but will get done soon, I promise.

I also uploaded CSS Class Applier module. I plan to make a much more generic act-on-range-nodes module but that requires quite a lot of thought, and the CSS Class Applier works now. You can use this module to create a CssClassApplier object that will apply, remove and toggle a particular CSS class on a range or selection by adding and removing <span> elements. It will also optionally normalize nodes it affects as it adds or removes a CSS class (i.e. merging adjacent text nodes or identical <span>s).

Example usage;

<script type="text/javascript">
    var cssApplier;

    rangy.addInitListener(function(rangy) {
        cssApplier = rangy.createCssClassApplier("someClass", true); // true turns on normalization
    });
</script>

<input type="button" value="Toggle someClass on selection" onclick="cssApplier.toggleSelection();">

To keep track of <span>s that it has created, the CssClassApplier adds an extra unique class to each <span>. You can remove these when you have finished with the CssClassApplier by calling its detach() method:

cssApplier.detach();

21 August 2010

Released new builds of the core and save/restore module, fixing several bugs.

12 August 2010

Uploaded initial selection save and restore module. Include it after the main rangy-core.js file. Example usage:

Save selection:

var savedSelection = rangy.saveRestore.saveSelection();

Restore selection:

rangy.saveRestore.restoreSelection(savedSelection);

2 August 2010

Uploaded pre-alpha version of Rangy core.
