My Aim: I am detecting hash tags within a content editable field as they are typed. I want to be able to remove a hash tag a it is typed, append it to another container and refocus selection on the contenteditable div as if nothing happened.

My Problem: This works so long as there are no child elements within the contenteditable div but focus is not restored if there are children. I think I need an advanced method of focusing the caret. This has only been tested in Chrome so far.

My Example: http://jsbin.com/owoto4/5/edit

Help greatly appreciated!

I may have cracked it by using code from this post: contenteditable, set caret at the end of the text (cross-browser)
