How to get nodes lying inside a range with javascript?

by

Here’s an implementation I came up with to solve this:

function getNextNode(node)
{
    if (node.firstChild)
        return node.firstChild;
    while (node)
    {
        if (node.nextSibling)
            return node.nextSibling;
        node = node.parentNode;
    }
}

function getNodesInRange(range)
{
    var start = range.startContainer;
    var end = range.endContainer;
    var commonAncestor = range.commonAncestorContainer;
    var nodes = [];
    var node;

    // walk parent nodes from start to common ancestor
    for (node = start.parentNode; node; node = node.parentNode)
    {
        nodes.push(node);
        if (node == commonAncestor)
            break;
    }
    nodes.reverse();

    // walk children and siblings from start until end is found
    for (node = start; node; node = getNextNode(node))
    {
        nodes.push(node);
        if (node == end)
            break;
    }

    return nodes;
}
