I'm in the process of migrating from Dojo 0.4.3 to Dojo 1.1.1.
I cannot find a replacement for dojo.html.clearSelection in Dojo 1.1.1. I looked at the html/select.js source in Dojo 0.4.3. The function is more than two lines, so I thought I would ask before attempting to make it work with Dojo 1.1.1.
Sample code
For anyone else who is missing this feature, here is a hack:
* This method copied from the dojo/html/selection.js file (v0.4.3).
*/
libClearSelection = function(){
// summary: deselect the current selection to make it empty
var _window = dojo.global;
var _document = dojo.doc;
try{
if(_window["getSelection"]){
if(dojo.isSafari){
// pulled from WebCore/ecma/kjs_window.cpp, line 2536
_window.getSelection().collapse();
}else{
_window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();
}
}else if(_document.selection){
if(_document.selection.empty){
_document.selection.empty();
}else if(_document.selection.clear){
_document.selection.clear();
}
}
return true;
}catch(e){
console.debug(e);
return false;
}
}
