This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The Selection.isCollapsed
read-only property returns a Boolean
which indicates whether or not there is currently any text selected. No text is selected when the selection's start and end points are at the same position in the content.
Keep in mind that a collapsed selection may still have one (or more, in Gecko) Range
s, so Selection.rangeCount
may not be zero. In that scenario, calling a Selection
object's getRangeAt()
method may return a Range
object which is collapsed.
Syntax
bool = sel.isCollapsed
