nop, not yet - we declined that functionality.
That range thing really sux. Instead, with a client we agreed on doing a
button drop list for inserting needed text piece.
I have used:
function insertBlaghBlagh(command, argument) {
if ( /* your wished check of is browser IE */ ) {
var insertRange = this.document.selection.createRange();
insertRange.pasteHTML(argument);
insertRange.select();
return true;
} else {
return this.document.execCommand(command, false, argument);
}
}
USAGE:
insertBlaghBlagh("inserthtml", "bar1");
insertBlaghBlagh("inserthtml", "foobar");
insertBlaghBlagh("inserthtml", "barbar");
But thats, ofcourse, not the same as changing text on a fly.
So I'm also still interested in "on a fly replacement" solution. Maybe
some day after the project I'll come back to this.
After making insertion button had thought on different approach: about
catching key presses. As if user types "foo", then everything is ok -
text (chars) appearance can be delayed and on a last sequence key simply
inserted wished replacement of it. But then user types for example
"football", because of catching his keys user will see nothing on screen
till he types "t", and only then "foot" will appear - and thats weird.
