    Native code only!

    characterExtendForDelete

    Will extend the selection one character cell forward in the document. This method is used internally for handling delete key.

    void characterExtendForDelete();
    Parameters

    None.

    characterMove()

    Will move the selection one character forward/backward in the document. This will also have the effect of collapsing the selection if the extend = PR_FALSE the "point" of selection that is extended is considered the "focus" point, or the last point adjusted by the selection.

    void characterMove(
  in boolean forward,
  in boolean extend
);
    Parameters
    forward
    Forward or backward if PR_FALSE.
    extend
    Should it collapse the selection or extend it?

    checkVisibility()

    Checks if textnode and offsets are actually rendered in the current precontext.

    boolean checkVisibility(
  in nsIDOMNode node,
  in short startOffset,
  in short endOffset
);

    Return value

    true if visible, false if not.
