我正在尝试从textarea中提取确切的选择和光标位置。像往常一样，大多数浏览器中的简单操作都不在IE中。
我正在使用它：
var sel=document.selection.createRange();
var temp=sel.duplicate();
temp.moveToElementText(textarea);
temp.setEndPoint("EndToEnd", sel);
selectionEnd = temp.text.length;
selectionStart = selectionEnd - sel.text.length;
99％的时间都有效。问题是TextRange.text不会返回前导或尾随换行符。因此，当光标在段落之后是几个空行时，它会在前一段的末尾产生一个位置 - 而不是实际的光标位置。
例如：
the quick brown fox| <- above code thinks the cursor is here
| <- when really it's here
我能想到的唯一修复是在选择之前和之后临时插入一个字符，抓取实际选择，然后再次删除那些临时字符。这是一个黑客，但在快速实验中看起来它会起作用。
但首先我要确定没有更简单的方法。

我正在添加另一个答案，因为我之前的答案已经有点史诗了。
这是我认为最好的版本：它需要bobince的方法（在我的第一个答案的评论中提到）并修复了我不喜欢它的两件事，首先它依赖于错误的TextRanges在textarea之外（从而损害性能），以及为了移动范围边界而必须为字符数选择一个巨大数字的肮脏。
function getSelection(el) {
var start = 0, end = 0, normalizedValue, range,
textInputRange, len, endRange;
if (typeof el.selectionStart == "number" && typeof el.selectionEnd == "number") {
start = el.selectionStart;
end = el.selectionEnd;
} else {
range = document.selection.createRange();
if (range && range.parentElement() == el) {
len = el.value.length;
normalizedValue = el.value.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n");
// Create a working TextRange that lives only in the input
textInputRange = el.createTextRange();
textInputRange.moveToBookmark(range.getBookmark());
// Check if the start and end of the selection are at the very end
// of the input, since moveStart/moveEnd doesn't return what we want
// in those cases
endRange = el.createTextRange();
endRange.collapse(false);
if (textInputRange.compareEndPoints("StartToEnd", endRange) > -1) {
start = end = len;
} else {
start = -textInputRange.moveStart("character", -len);
start += normalizedValue.slice(0, start).split("\n").length - 1;
if (textInputRange.compareEndPoints("EndToEnd", endRange) > -1) {
end = len;
} else {
end = -textInputRange.moveEnd("character", -len);
end += normalizedValue.slice(0, end).split("\n").length - 1;
}
}
}
}
return {
start: start,
end: end
};
}
var el = document.getElementById("your_textarea");
var sel = getSelection(el);
alert(sel.start + ", " + sel.end);

<强> N.B。请参阅我的other answer以获取我能提供的最佳解决方案。我要留下这里作为背景。
我遇到过这个问题，并编写了适用于所有情况的以下内容。在IE中，它确实使用您建议的方法在选择边界临时插入一个字符，然后使用document.execCommand("undo")删除插入的字符并防止插入保留在撤消堆栈中。我很确定没有更简单的方法。令人高兴的是，IE 9将支持selectionStart和selectionEnd属性。
function getSelectionBoundary(el, isStart) {
var property = isStart ? "selectionStart" : "selectionEnd";
var originalValue, textInputRange, precedingRange, pos, bookmark;
if (typeof el[property] == "number") {
return el[property];
} else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
el.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
if (range) {
range.collapse(!!isStart);
originalValue = el.value;
textInputRange = el.createTextRange();
precedingRange = textInputRange.duplicate();
pos = 0;
if (originalValue.indexOf("\r\n") > -1) {
// Trickier case where input value contains line breaks
// Insert a character in the text input range and use that as
// a marker
range.text = " ";
bookmark = range.getBookmark();
textInputRange.moveToBookmark(bookmark);
precedingRange.setEndPoint("EndToStart", textInputRange);
pos = precedingRange.text.length - 1;
// Executing an undo command to delete the character inserted
// prevents this method adding to the undo stack. This trick
// came from a user called Trenda on MSDN:
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534676%28VS.85%29.aspx
document.execCommand("undo");
} else {
// Easier case where input value contains no line breaks
bookmark = range.getBookmark();
textInputRange.moveToBookmark(bookmark);
precedingRange.setEndPoint("EndToStart", textInputRange);
pos = precedingRange.text.length;
}
return pos;
}
}
return 0;
}
var el = document.getElementById("your_textarea");
var startPos = getSelectionBoundary(el, true);
var endPos = getSelectionBoundary(el, false);
alert(startPos + ", " + endPos);

根据bobince在评论中建议的方法，我创建了以下内容，这似乎运作良好。一些说明：
function getSelection(el) {
var start = 0, end = 0, normalizedValue, textInputRange, elStart;
var range = document.selection.createRange();
var bigNum = -1e8;
if (range && range.parentElement() == el) {
normalizedValue = el.value.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n");
start = -range.moveStart("character", bigNum);
end = -range.moveEnd("character", bigNum);
textInputRange = el.createTextRange();
range.moveToBookmark(textInputRange.getBookmark());
elStart = range.moveStart("character", bigNum);
// Adjust the position to be relative to the start of the input
start += elStart;
end += elStart;
// Correct for line breaks so that offsets are relative to the
// actual value of the input
start += normalizedValue.slice(0, start).split("\n").length - 1;
end += normalizedValue.slice(0, end).split("\n").length - 1;
}
return {
start: start,
end: end
};
}
var el = document.getElementById("your_textarea");
var sel = getSelection(el);
alert(sel.start + ", " + sel.end);

负数百万美元的举动似乎完美无缺。
这是我最终的结果：
var sel=document.selection.createRange();
var temp=sel.duplicate();
temp.moveToElementText(textarea);
var basepos=-temp.moveStart('character', -10000000);
this.m_selectionStart = -sel.moveStart('character', -10000000)-basepos;
this.m_selectionEnd = -sel.moveEnd('character', -10000000)-basepos;
this.m_text=textarea.value.replace(/\r\n/gm,"\n");
谢谢bobince - 当它只是一个评论时，我怎么能把你的答案投票:(
答案 3 :(得分：1)
一个jquery插件，用于在文本区域中获取选择索引的开始和结束。上面的javascript代码对IE7和IE8没有用，并且给出了非常不一致的结果，所以我编写了这个小的jquery插件。允许临时保存选择的开始和结束索引，并在以后高亮显示选择。
这里有一个工作示例和简要版本：http://jsfiddle.net/hYuzk/3/
带有评论等的更多详细信息版本在此处：http://jsfiddle.net/hYuzk/4/
// Cross browser plugins to set or get selection/caret position in textarea, input fields etc for IE7,IE8,IE9, FF, Chrome, Safari etc
$.fn.extend({
// Gets or sets a selection or caret position in textarea, input field etc.
// Usage Example: select text from index 2 to 5 --> $('#myTextArea').caretSelection({start: 2, end: 5});
// get selected text or caret position --> $('#myTextArea').caretSelection();
// if start and end positions are the same, caret position will be set instead o fmaking a selection
caretSelection : function(options)
{
if(options && !isNaN(options.start) && !isNaN(options.end))
{
this.setCaretSelection(options);
}
else
{
return this.getCaretSelection();
}
},
setCaretSelection : function(options)
{
var inp = this[0];
if(inp.createTextRange)
{
var selRange = inp.createTextRange();
selRange.collapse(true);
selRange.moveStart('character', options.start);
selRange.moveEnd('character',options.end - options.start);
selRange.select();
}
else if(inp.setSelectionRange)
{
inp.focus();
inp.setSelectionRange(options.start, options.end);
}
},
getCaretSelection: function()
{
var inp = this[0], start = 0, end = 0;
if(!isNaN(inp.selectionStart))
{
start = inp.selectionStart;
end = inp.selectionEnd;
}
else if( inp.createTextRange )

var inpTxtLen = inp.value.length, jqueryTxtLen = this.val().length;
var inpRange = inp.createTextRange(), collapsedRange = inp.createTextRange();

end = inpRange.compareEndPoints('EndToEnd', collapsedRange) > -1 ? jqueryTxtLen : inpRange.moveEnd('character', -inpTxtLen);
}
return {start: Math.abs(start), end: Math.abs(end)};
