How to unselect a selection using javascript ?

Is it possible using javascript to 'unselect' a selection ?
I tried the following line of code, but it only works in IE :

oEditor.getSelection().reset();

Will this code meet your requirements:

  var doc = oEditor.document,
      range = new CKEDITOR.dom.range(doc),
      body = doc.getBody();
  range.setStart(body, 0);
  range.setEnd(body, 0);
  oEditor.getSelection().selectRanges( [range] );

Thanks a lot, works great !

One more question : the selection is removed (I can check that using selection.getSelectedElement), but the selection handles (for images, anchors) in the wysiwyg area remain (using FF). Is there a way to remove these as well ?

var native = editor.getSelection().getNative();
native.removeAllRanges();

That's a Firefox bug. All the bugs about misplaced selection handles are due to Firefox.
