Reply To: Get nodelist from Selection/Range?

[schwamkrug]

Sure. I'm working on a macro to enable cutting/pasting content as a conref. It was pretty easy to do this with a single element…with the cursor inside a given element, get Selection.ContainerNode, then do typical DOM stuff to add a conref to the clipboard. But what I want to do is extend that to also do conref range. Consider the following (assume all these elements have ids):

 

Paragraph 1, with some inline elements included in them.

 

Paragraph 2

 

Paragraph 3

 

Paragraph 4

 

Paragraph 5

If the following is selected:
 

Paragraph 2

 

Paragraph 3

 

Paragraph 4

I'd use the id from Paragraph 2 for the conref attribute, and the id from paragraph 4 for the conrefend attribute.

However, if I selected this:
  inline elements includedOr this:
    some inline elements included in them.

Those would be error conditions. Those wouldn't be the only error conditions. The main thing is that I'd need to get a node list and look at it to see.
