Notes
This method is obsolete; you should instead use the W3C DOM Range methods (see compareBoundaryPoints()).
Warning: This method has been removed from Gecko 1.9 and will not exist in future versions of Firefox; you should switch to
compareBoundaryPoints() as soon as possible.The following function can be used as replacement:
function rangeIntersectsNode(range, node) {
var nodeRange = node.ownerDocument.createRange();
try {
nodeRange.selectNode(node);
}
catch (e) {
nodeRange.selectNodeContents(node);
}
return range.compareBoundaryPoints(Range.END_TO_START, nodeRange) == -1 &&
range.compareBoundaryPoints(Range.START_TO_END, nodeRange) == 1;
}
