Reply To: What is selected

[andygasser]

It seems that it's not that simple. Selection.ContainerNode does not give you the current node, as the documentation states, it gives you the selection's container.

Consider this example:
[code]

      Child 1
    Child 2
    Child 3
 
[/code]

When the user has the second Child element (child 2) selected how can I figure that out. When I use Selection.ContainerNode it returns the Parent element. Using DOM from there will allow me to navigate to the Child nodes but how do I know which one is selected.

I agree I can change the selection using the Selection API but how will it help me figure out which Child element is selected.
