The HTML DOM Range setStartAfter() method sets the starting position of a Range. An element used to set the starting point range is the referenceNode element. In this method, the reference element used is not included in the range.
Syntax:
range.setStartAfter(refNode);
Parameters:
- referenceNode element: The Node which is used to set the starting of the range.
Return Value: This method has no return value.
Example: This example will show how to set the starting of the range using setStartAfter(). Also in this example, I also used setEndAfter() method to set the ending of the range. The start reference node here is the first <i> element of the document.
