返回插入符位置或IE8中的div范围

Question

I am wanting to return the start and end range or the caret postion inside a div. The div will have the attribute contentEditable.

typically I would use document.selection.createRange(); but the createRange function is broken in IE8 is there a way to get around this?

Answer 1

Your description is a bit vague, but this might help:

If your editor consists of two documents (one containing toolbars and one containing the content of your document), you need to call document.focus() on the window object containing the content-document.

See here for a similar case: Changes to selection and range functionality in IE8

Answer 2

document.selection.createRange(); works the same in IE 8 as it did in versions 7, 6, 5 and 4. If you mean you want an object that works like a DOM Range , as all other mainstream browsers have, I'd suggest using IERange , which creates Range -like objects from IE's TextRange s.
