Question

As mentioned in the Question, How can i exclude hidden elements from the document range object. With the below code I can create entire body text range. But I want to exclude hidden elements

document.body.createTextRange()

I am experimenting with the below code

$(':hidden').blur();
document.body.createTextRange()

But it does not work for me.

Please help me on this.

You can’t. Like a DOM Range, a TextRange represents the portion of an HTML document between two boundary points. If you want to represent a portion of the document omitting certain elements, you will need multiple TextRanges.
