On IE9 (on the example webpage), rangy.init will log this to the console:
"LOG: Init listener threw an exception. Continuing.Error: Access is denied."
which apparently derails the rest of the initialization.

Does this problem happen when Rangy is included in a page via a script tag rather than via the IE9 console?

From paleozogt on June 11, 2012 13:45:26

Yes. In my case, I'm injecting a script tag that pulls in rangy after the page has loaded. Pasting it into the console is pretty much the same thing (and easier for you to reproduce).

Easier to reproduce but less good for debugging (debugger doesn't work and you get no line number for the error), probably because the console uses eval. I isolated where the problem was occurring by injecting the script. More investigation required, but I have an idea of what to do.

Ah, true about the debugger. Thanks for looking into it!

Fixed in 1.3alpha.673.

Also, in the latest version of IE9, this causes the browser to crash when printing a page that includes rangy. The fix in 1.3alpha.673 does not cause this problem.

So is the IE9 crash still present in the current alpha?

Hi, I am trying to inject rangy into a webpage from a firefox extension and I am getting an exception "Init listener threw an exception". So I tried executing the contents of rangy-core.js in Firefox console. After that executing rangy.init() on console gives this error:
Init listener threw an exception. Continuing. [Exception... "The operation is insecure." code: "18" nsresult: "0x80530012 (SecurityError)" location: "Web Console Line: 2520"]
