Last week I started to implement a (still basic) low-level Text Selection API which especially the high-level form widgets like TextField and TextArea can make use of.
As some of you might already know working with the native Selection and Range / TextRange objects is not one of the things a developer dreams of
However, looking at the basic implementation one thing is quite amazing. Besides a little tweak for Opera three (Gecko, Safari and Opera) of the four major browsers share the same implementation.
Sure there will be some more differences to encounter when the development of this low-level layer moves on, but the start looks quite promising.
