Selection: collapse() method - Web APIs | MDN
Selection: collapse() method Baseline Widely available
The Selection.collapse()
method collapses the current selection to a single point. The document is not modified. If the content is focused and editable, the caret will blink there.
collapse(node)
collapse(node, offset)
node
The caret location will be within this node. This value can also be set to
null
— if null
is specified, the method will behave like
Selection.removeAllRanges()
, i.e., all ranges will be removed from the
selection.
offset
Optional
The offset in node
to which the selection will be collapsed. If not
specified, the default value 0
is used.
// Place the caret at the beginning of an HTML document's body.
const body = document.querySelector("body");
window.getSelection().collapse(body, 0);
