If I understand you correctly, I think the answer is "not really". You can get the parent element for the selected range easily enough: ``` var sel = rangy.getSelection(); if...

It's not dead. I'm intending to do some work on Rangy but it hasn't been my priority for a good few months. I should have some free time next week;...

_From [[email protected]](https://code.google.com/u/109609144121560897758/) on January 22, 2013 06:15:18_ The issue turns out to be a removeAllRanges() call in one of the tests in the WrappedSelection module. Instead of including Rangy, just...

_From [martin.thurau](https://code.google.com/u/martin.thurau/) on October 23, 2013 10:24:36_ The workaround in #5 works fine for me. Thanks :-)
