[web] Empty Selection/Range object in Opera
Author
For certain reasons, I need to know the index of an empty selection of an html element, I can do this fine in firefox and ie, however, Opera always reports the begin and end index of the selection as 0 if the selection is empty. Does anyone know of a way around this?
Check your call to window.getSelection().rangeCount. It seems Opera denies the existence of empty selections and returns 0 for window.getSelection().rangeCount. My solution: Ditch support for Opera until they support standards for 100%, not 99%.

I might do this, but I'd rather not. Mainly because I use Opera as my primary browser. Any other suggestions?
I was thinking maybe I could find the index of the selection based on the pixel cooridnates of the mouse, but I'm not really sure how to go about implementing it.
