Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

 

The caretRangeFromPoint() method of the Document interface returns a Range object for the document fragment under the specified coordinates.

Syntax

var range = document.caretRangeFromPoint(float x, float y);

Returns

One of the following:

  • A Range.
  • Null, if x or y are negative, outside viewport, or there is no text entry node.

Parameters

x
A horizontal position within the current viewport.
y
A vertical position within the current viewport.

Example

Basic demo: When clicking in a paragraph insert a line break at the caret position:
