[webkit-dev] programmatic text selection

[Sam Gendler]

Thanks Giacomo - I think your original example had a typo (the 1 as a
last parameter), as the page you provided works great (a 0 as the last
parameter).

One question - how does one select a node which has no sibling?
Putting the same node as both node parameters to setBaseAndExtent has
no effect.
