Remarks

The IHTMLTxtRange interface is used to retrieve and modify text in an element, locate specific strings in the text, and carry out commands that affect the appearance of the text.

You retrieve a TextRange object by using the createTextRange method of the IHTMLBodyElement, IHTMLInputHiddenElement, IHTMLInputTextElement, IHTMLTextAreaElement, or IHTMLButtonElement interfaces. You can modify the extent of the text range by moving its start and end positions with methods such as move, moveToElementText, and findText. Within the text range, you can retrieve and modify plain text or HTML text. These forms of text are identical except that HTML text includes HTML tags; plain text does not.
