The next character after a range

[Eric Kean]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the next character after a selected range.  Before discovering rangy, I posted my question on stackoverflow, and someone posted the solution:

window.getSelection().focusNode.textContent.charAt(window.getSelection().focusOffset);

Though it worked great in Safari, after reading up a bit, I understand that this type of solution won't work for earlier versions of IE.  With this in mind, I'm hoping to implement rangy, and was wondering if there's a way to get the next character after a selected range using the "rangy object".

Thanks so much,

Eric

I think Rangy is supposed to implement the DOM range standard, so the above might well work as is (replacing window with 'rangy'). Not sure about this though. An IE way of doing things would be:

​document.selection.createRange().collapse(false).moveEnd("character", 1).text​​
