Selecting partial text

You can select text within a body, button, or certain input elements using
the TextRange object. Here's a quick example:

function ShowSelection()
{
if (txtSource.value.length >= parseInt(txtLength.value) +
parseInt(txtStart.value))
{

var objTextRange = txtSource.createTextRange();
if (objTextRange)
{
objTextRange.collapse();
objTextRange.moveStart("character", parseInt(txtStart.value));
objTextRange.moveEnd("character", parseInt(txtLength.value));
objTextRange.select();
}
}
}
