Replace range content

[homers...@gmail.com]

I have selection range object. Now I need to replace it contents with
my HTML code. How can I do that?

For example IE has Range.pasteHTML method, and what about FF?

Delete the existing contents and create the new contents with the DOM e.g.

var selection = window.getSelection();
var range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
if (range) {
range.deleteContents();
var newContents = document.createElement('span');
newContents.textContent = 'Kibology for all.';
range.insertNode(newContents)
}

Martin, I've actually been thinking about this quite a bit lately -- in
the context of transactions (do, undo, redo). It's not clear at all how
to do that correctly. Can you give me some advice?
