The Range.compareBoundaryPoints() method compares the boundary points of the Range with another one.

Syntax

compare = range.compareBoundaryPoints(how, sourceRange);

Return value

compare
A number, -1, 0, or 1, indicating whether the corresponding boundary-point of the Range is respectively before, equal to, or after the corresponding boundary-point of sourceRange.

Parameters

how
A constant describing the comparison method:
  • Range.END_TO_END compares the end boundary-point of sourceRange to the end boundary-point of Range.
  • Range.END_TO_START compares the end boundary-point of sourceRange to the start boundary-point of Range.
  • Range.START_TO_END compares the start boundary-point of sourceRange to the end boundary-point of Range.
  • Range.START_TO_START compares the start boundary-point of sourceRange to the start boundary-point of Range.

If the value of the parameter is invalid, a DOMException with a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR code is thrown.

sourceRange 
A Range to compare boundary points with the range.

Example

var range, sourceRange, compare;
range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0]);
sourceRange = document.createRange();
sourceRange.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div")[1]);
compare = range.compareBoundaryPoints(Range.START_TO_END, sourceRange);
