can u specify html as selected in the browser

[jojoba]

Hi all,

Just wondering if it's possible to specify specific html in the
document as selected?
I'm trying to find the position of html in a page, and if i can set
some html as selected, then i'm thinking i could then get the range
object and hence retrieve some pixel coordinates.

Anyone out there know this one?
thx,
jojoba

var range=document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(document.getElementById('blah'))
getSelection().addRange(range)
