Hi,
I have a childNode in an element (which is a content editable div). It contains span element as "[ ]". I want to set my cursor in between the square brackets. If I put index as 0, the cursor is set before [. If I put index as 1, the cursor is set after ].
Can anyone tell me how to make the cursor set in between the two brackets?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean the caret in text (selection)?

Yes. There is a content editable div, which has got some text and some span elements in it. I am able to get my caret position every where in the text, except for the middle position of a square bracket, which is a span element like, "<span>[ ]</span>".
