Serialize a DOM range

is there any standard/easy way 开发者_高级运维to serialize a DOM Range (and the IE equivalent) with java script.

The motivation is to store the current selection for a document together with its HTML code.

I thought of using XPath for it, but before I start to reinventing the wheel maybe there is something already working available and I just haven't found it (best would be a jQuery based solution).

I think I got the answer visit link below : Rangy, A cross-browser JavaScript range and selection library

There have been a few times I would have found something like this useful and I don't know of anything that currently exists. XPath seems the logical choice to me.
