contenteditable

I have a contenteditable div where I need to insert text at the caret position,

This can be done in IE by document.selection.createRange().text = "banana"

Is there a similar way of implementing this in Firefox/Chrome?

(I know a solution exists here , but it looks sorta clumsy)

Thank you!
