Using JavaScript and jQuery:
var string = $(".contenteditable").contents().text();
var result = string.split("^");
var preceedingLength = result[0].length;
var proceedingLength = result[1].length;
alert(preceedingLength);
alert(proceedingLength);
This assumes that you have only one caret in your DIV.

2I think the OP means the editing caret rather than a caret character. – Tim Down Jul 02 '14 at 10:10

Oh! Well, at least I learnt to wait for more context the next time! – TribalChief Jul 02 '14 at 10:15
