I have a question (maybe not as simple as it sounds): Could i (and how you’d propose i should do it) use your code for acronyms?

I need to pass an array of words to be searched, and another (with the same key) with the explanation of the acronym – for example, every use of the word MIT should bring MIT Any ideas?

The solution is simply to track the line number of the selection as well as its position within the text. I’ve updated the code with a fix for Chrome, but it seems Chrome and Firefox handle linebreaks within ContentEditables differently – Chrome treats new lines as separate divs, whereas Firefox is inserting br elements. I will correct the code for cross-browser support shortly.

Just a notice. I am testing the code with Firefox, and I am experiencing a bug, I suppose. I mean, after I erase a line by deleting char by char, the caret doesn’t go to the end of the previous line, but to the beginning of text. It seems that saveSelection function returns {start: 0, end: 0} without running the while block.
Do you know why? I am not able to find the reason, please need your help

Thank you, just what I needed to implement simple on the fly syntax highlighting without using a heavy library.
