Question

Hi I am highlighting text through window.find and selectRange methods. And I am using below code to remove highlights.. But it does not seems to work..

    if (window.getSelection) {
        window.getSelection().removeAllRanges();
    } else if (document.selection) {
        document.selection.empty();
    } 

Please let me know mistakes in this code

You can do it this way: http://jsfiddle.net/qmR5m/7/

What I did was simply strip the body text of spans with the class “Apple-style-span”.
