        window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).setEnd(mybody, 0);
        window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).setStart(mybody, 0);

That code only works in FF.  Ranges returned from getRangeAt() in WebKit are
not tied to the Selection object like they are in Firefox.  So you end up
modifying a temporary range object, not the selection itself.

You can use setBaseAndExtent to modify the selection in WebKit.

We're currently considering redesigning the whole Selection API, since
Firefox's is rather confusing (and IE's is similarly confusing, and WebKit's is
a strange broken hybrid of the two)
