This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The Selection.focusOffset read-only property returns the number of characters that the selection's focus is offset within the Selection.focusNode.
This number is zero-based. If the selection ends with the first character in the Selection.focusNode, 0 is returned.
Syntax
offset = sel.focusOffset
