Content editable and input/keyup/keydown event - set cursor by range.setStart issue





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I try to move cursor positon after replacing an contentEditable element on the end of text. The problem is cursor instead of given commands is setting itself to start (before all others words). When I console.log the range.selectNodeContents function it returns undefined. How to fix that?



let textField = document.querySelector('.textfield');
textField.addEventListener('input', () => {
textField.innerHTML = textField.innerHTML.replace(':)',
'<img src="../../assets/img/emoji/happy.png');
let startNode = textField.childNodes[textField.childNodes.length - 1];
let range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(textField);
range.setStart(startNode, 0);
}, false);
