[Javascript] document.selection.clear()

Thu Sep 23 05:03:52 CDT 2004

Hi 

I'm trying to built a small text editor for a content management system I'm
building.
The challenge I got is pretty simple in my editable area I got some
graphics.
On this graphics I did trigger the right click event(oncontextmenu) the
image on the top is showing a small layer with the option to delete the
picture but when I click on the delete option in my small menu I lose the
selection on the graphics and can't delete it, the image on the bottom is
directly calling a function to delete the current graphics.

Please any help or link will be more then welcome.

found the example below describing what my challenge is 
http://www.be-lovely.co.uk/examples/img_edit/default.html

or their is the code

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function image_context_menu(){
	imgToolMenu.style.left = event.clientX;
	imgToolMenu.style.top = event.clientY;
	imgToolMenu.style.visibility = 'visible';
}

function delete_img(){
	document.selection.clear();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="textEditor" contenteditable="true" style="position:absolute;
left:20px; top:70px; width:400px; border: 1px solid black">
	<IMG oncontextmenu="image_context_menu();return false;" height="132"
src="http://www.gainsford-studio.co.uk/images/homepage_1.jpg" width="209"
align="left">When right clicked this image will display a small menu with
the option of deleting the image
	<br>
	<br>
	<br>
	<br>
	<hr>
	<br>
	<br>
	<IMG oncontextmenu="delete_img();return false;" height="132"
src="http://www.gainsford-studio.co.uk/images/homepage_1.jpg" width="209"
align="left">When right clicked this image will directly disapear
</div>
What I will like to do is be able to delete the graphics<br>
from the small right click menu on the first picture but soon as you clicked
on the delete option the selection disapear
<div id="imgToolMenu" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;
visibility:hidden; border: 1px solid black; background-color:#FFFFFF"><div
onclick="delete_img()">delete</div></div>
