Q678 Can I unselect selected text?

Only in Internet Explorer 4 with:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
document.selection.empty();
//--></SCRIPT>

The only thing that comes close in Netscape Navigator 4 is:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
window.find(' ');
//--></SCRIPT>

which changes the selection to the first space character in the document.
