Highlight: clear() method
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The clear()
method of the Highlight
interface removes all the Range
objects from a Highlight
object.
Highlight
is a Set
-like object, so this is similar to using Set.clear()
.
Syntax
js
clear()
Return value
None (undefined
).
Examples
The code snippet below shows how to create a new highlight with two ranges, and then clear it:
js
const highlight = new Highlight(range1, range2);
console.log(highlight.size); // 2
highlight.clear();
console.log(highlight.size); // 0
