OK... we've been burned in the recent past, so just wanted to make sure.

I can't think of any other way this property can be implemented. So no, I
don't think there's a chance for other vendors to implement this API
differently.  If anything, they may never implement "none" because
directionless selection is Mac-ism but the spec covers that case as well.

I should have also asked:  do you have the support of other browser vendors
for this feature?  Or, is it possible that when they set out to solve this
problem that they might end up doing it differently?  Are you sure we
shouldn't vendor prefix this method if we are going to be the only
implementer?

Are any other browsers implementing it?

[webkit-dev] [New DOM property] selectionDirection on HTMLInputElement and HTMLTextAreaElement

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Hi all,

I have a patch to add selectionDirection property on HTMLInputElement and
HTMLTextAreaElement on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60403.

The purpose of this property is to let websites control base and extent of
selection.  The property has been added to the HTML5 spec section
4.10.20,
and an extensive discussion about this
feature
has
been done on whatwg.  Given the discussion took place on whatwg and how
simple this API is, I consider it to be a stable API.

Best,
Ryosuke Niwa
