Range: toString() method
The Range.toString()
method is a stringifier returning
the text of the Range
.
Alerting the contents of a Range
makes an implicit
toString()
call, so comparing range and text through an alert dialog is
ineffective.
Syntax
js
toString()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string.
