Example
You can try the validity of any strings that you like in The Evaluator (Chapter 13
in the JavaScript Bible). You will discover, however, that the object model can make
a document fragment out of just about any string. For instance, if you attempt to
create a document fragment out of some random text and an end tag, the document
fragment will consist of a text node and an element node of the type indicated by
the end tag.

Example
Use The Evaluator (Chapter 13 in the JavaScript Bible) to see the behavior of
both the selectNode() and selectNodeContents() methods work. Begin by creating
a new range object.
a = document.createRange()
Set the range boundaries to include the myP element node:
a.selectNode(document.getElementById(“myP”))
