I have read a few posts on positioning the caret, but none seem to answer my particular issue.
- I have 2 divs (div1 and div2)
- div1 = noneditable div
- div2 = contenteditable div
- both divs contain exact same contents
- when user clicks on div1, it gets hidden, and div2 appears in exact location and user can edit
The problem: I want the caret to appear in exact location on div2 as div1
So, I need some way to READ the location where the user clicks on div1, and then when div2 appears place the cursor/caret in that same location, so a getCaretLocation(in_div_id) and setCaretLocation(in_div_id) set of functions.
Any way to do that?
Thanks -
