CreateTextRange is not working in Chrome

by

CreateTextRange is a Microsoft specific function, but there is an easy work around.

Use createRange instead as in this post for example:

if (document.selection) { //IE
    var range = document.body.createTextRange();
    range.moveToElementText(document.getElementById(containerid));
    range.select();
} else if (window.getSelection) { //others
    var range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNode(document.getElementById(containerid));
    window.getSelection().addRange(range);
}
