Details

for single line <textfield>s, .selectionStart gets you the character offset of
the start of the selection and .selectionEnd gets you the end.  If no text is
selected, .selectionStart = .selectionEnd = the caret position.

For <textfield multiline="true">, .selectionStart and .selectionEnd are not
defined.
(the code at nsGfxTextControlFrame2.cpp:2598 is never reached.) 

[EVAL-IN]  o = document.getElementById("multiline-input");
[EVAL-OUT] [object XULElement]
[EVAL-IN]  o.selectionStart
[EVAL-OUT] undefined
