InvalidArgument error for search functions

This results in an InvalidArgument error for me:

var results = ctx.document.body.search("Contoso");

Is that possible to call functions in home.js from <iframe>?

I have some pages, and use them in my word add-in, by <iframe>.

But I can not call functions in home.js from my pages.

These are the codes in my pages :

window.parent.test();

and codes in home.js :

function test() {
    console.log('It's worked!');
}

Error while running from word online

Hi,

When I am trying to run this add-in from browser as word online document, it is throwing error that the browser does not support this. Here is the full error -
ErrorCode = GeneralException, ErrorMessage = This browser does not support the requested API.

Does this or overall office fabric not support word online?

Thanks!
Suman

Append and not replace

Hi

On this example you show how to put content of a XML by using the setSelectedDataAsync to insert the content.
But is there a way to put content many times without replacing the current selection?
To be more clear is there a way to unselect the content we put by using setSelectedDataAsync ?
