This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The Selection.anchorOffset read-only property returns the number of characters that the selection's anchor is offset within the Selection.anchorNode.
This number is zero-based. If the selection begins with the first character in the Selection.anchorNode, 0 is returned.
