I have a div with contenteditable set and I am capturing keypress using jquery to call preventDefault() when the enter key is pressed. Similar to this question which inserts text at the cursor, I would like to directly insert html, for brevity we'll say its a br tag. Using the answer to the question above actually works in IE as it uses the range.pasteHTML method, but in other browsers the br tag would appear as plain text and not html. How could I modify the answer to insert html and not text ?

by reading quickly and hoping not to be off topic, here is a track for those who, like me, need to insert code at the cursor level of a div:
document.getElementById('editeur').contentWindow.document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, '<br />');
'editeur' is iframe :
<iframe id="editeur" src="contenu_editeur_wysiwyg.php">
</iframe>
contenu_editeur_wysiwyg.php :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
don't forget :
document.getElementById('editeur').contentDocument.designMode = "on";
