HTML DOM Range setEnd() Method

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2022

The setEnd() method is used to set the ending position of a Range.

The endNode can be used as a text node, child nodes etc. The endOffset can be the number of characters from the endNode or can be the number of child node of the endNode.

Syntax:

range.setEnd(endNode, endOffset);

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

endNode: The Node which is used to set the ending of the range.
endOffset: This parameter is Offset index greater than or equal to zero representing the index for the ending of the Range.

Return Value: This method does not return any value.

Example 1: This example setting ending of range as child nodes of a parent node.

This example uses the setEnd() method to set the ending child node of the range. Here, we have used setStart() method to set the starting of the range to make up a range completely. For clarity of defined range, we have converted the selected range into text using toString() method.

        const exampleNode = document
            .getElementById('exampleNode');
 
        const range = document.createRange();
 
        // 0th child gets at starting
        // of the range
        range.setStart(exampleNode, 0);
 
        // 3rd child gets at ending
        // of the range
        range.setEnd(exampleNode, 3);
