javascript：range.setStart（）INDEX_SIZE_ERR（1）

Question

I am trying to set a range and it's just not working. For now, I'm trying in IE9.

The following gives me a DOMException: INDEX_SIZE_ERR(1). Should it not give me the range bcdef?

  <div id = "test" >abcdefghij</div>


 //range =  document.selection.createRange(); //also tried this
 range =  document.createRange();


 node = document.getElementById("test");
 range.setStart(node, 2);
 range.setEnd(node, 5);

Answer 1

IE doesn't support document.selection.createRange() and uses its own syntax (surprised?).

There's an article on QuirksMode about workarounds to this problem. I suggest you read it:
