The Selection.removeRange() method removes a range from a selection.
sel.removeRange(range)
range/* Programmaticaly, more than one range can be selected.
* This will remove all ranges except the first. */
s = window.getSelection();
if(s.rangeCount > 1) {
for(var i = 1; i < s.rangeCount; i++) {
s.removeRange(s.getRangeAt(i));
}
}
