The Range.getClientRects() method returns a list of ClientRect objects representing the area of the screen occupied by the range. This is created by aggregating the results of calls to Element.getClientRects() for all the elements in the range.

Syntax

rectList = range.getClientRects()

Example

range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));
rectList = range.getClientRects();
