DOM Standard defines Range

[Exposed=Window]
interface Range : AbstractRange {
  constructor();

  readonly attribute Node commonAncestorContainer;

  undefined setStart(Node node, unsigned long offset);
  undefined setEnd(Node node, unsigned long offset);
  undefined setStartBefore(Node node);
  undefined setStartAfter(Node node);
  undefined setEndBefore(Node node);
  undefined setEndAfter(Node node);
  undefined collapse(optional boolean toStart = false);
  undefined selectNode(Node node);
  undefined selectNodeContents(Node node);

  const unsigned short START_TO_START = 0;
  const unsigned short START_TO_END = 1;
  const unsigned short END_TO_END = 2;
  const unsigned short END_TO_START = 3;
  short compareBoundaryPoints(unsigned short how, Range sourceRange);

  [CEReactions] undefined deleteContents();
  [CEReactions, NewObject] DocumentFragment extractContents();
  [CEReactions, NewObject] DocumentFragment cloneContents();
  [CEReactions] undefined insertNode(Node node);
  [CEReactions] undefined surroundContents(Node newParent);

  [NewObject] Range cloneRange();
  undefined detach();

  boolean isPointInRange(Node node, unsigned long offset);
  short comparePoint(Node node, unsigned long offset);

  boolean intersectsNode(Node node);

  stringifier;
};

This interface is extended in the following specifications:

• HTML Standard

  
  
  partial interface Range {
    [CEReactions, NewObject] DocumentFragment createContextualFragment(HTMLString string);
  };

• CSSOM View Module

  
  
  partial interface Range {
    DOMRectList getClientRects();
    [NewObject] DOMRect getBoundingClientRect();
  };

[Exposed=Window]
interface Range : AbstractRange {
  constructor();

  readonly attribute Node commonAncestorContainer;

  undefined setStart(Node node, unsigned long offset);
  undefined setEnd(Node node, unsigned long offset);
  undefined setStartBefore(Node node);
  undefined setStartAfter(Node node);
  undefined setEndBefore(Node node);
  undefined setEndAfter(Node node);
  undefined collapse(optional boolean toStart = false);
  undefined selectNode(Node node);
  undefined selectNodeContents(Node node);

  const unsigned short START_TO_START = 0;
  const unsigned short START_TO_END = 1;
  const unsigned short END_TO_END = 2;
  const unsigned short END_TO_START = 3;
  short compareBoundaryPoints(unsigned short how, Range sourceRange);

  [CEReactions, NewObject] DocumentFragment extractContents();
