Does anyone on the list know about DOM Text Ranges in Opera (any version)?
I got Opera 7 running now (nice and fast, I was shocked). But I haven't
been able to find specific documentation or code examples (that work, not
just claim to work). Do my scripts work on Safari? I have no *Mac access.
If possible I'd like to work out all the major compatibility kinks while I'm
still in a stand-alone sandbox script, rather than find a hangup when I am
half-way through the DynAPI integration.
