如何获得内容可编辑的插入符号位置

Question

So I have a contenteditable button in my webpage I declare like so:

<button id="test" contentEditable="true">This <img src="image..png" /> is a button, click me!</button>

I move the caret around, and I want to find its final location. I tried both:

• window.getSelection().focusOffset.toString()
• document.getElementById('test').selectionStart.toString()";

but neither of them seems to work :( Any pointers?

Update

Unfortunately the code from the links below seems to work only with Firefox and not with Chrome (for a button , div s work just fine)

Take a look at these:

• Get caret position in contentEditable div

Here's a quick and dirty fiddle - it isn't perfect but it might help you get started. I've used code from the blog post at the second link above.
