[webkit-dev] Editable selection inside empty element

[Rob Burns]

Hi Fred,

I was struggling with the same issue of setting the selected DOM  
range to an empty element. I believe there's a bug filed on it.

<http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10883>
<http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10881>

What I've been toying with is adding zero-width spaces to elements  
and then cleaning up after those characters or the elements  
themselves if the author doesn't add content to the element.

Its a pretty serious bug however for any editor trying to do real  
semantic editing.

Take care,
Rob
