IE and insertNodeAtSelection

I've been using:

editor.insertNodeAtSelection(....);

to insert a new element in the document from a plugin I'm working on, in Firefox it inserts it at the position as expected, but in IE it inserts it at the start of the document.....any suggestions what might be causing this, or how to fix it?

I did try using:

var sel = editor.getSelection();
var range = editor.createRange(sel);
range.pasteHTML(...);

but that didn't insert it into the document, instead it inserted it at the top of the page

thanks

Re: IE and insertNodeAtSelection

You would have to do

editor.focusEditor();
var sel = editor.getSelection();
var range = editor.createRange(sel);
range.pasteHTML(...);

but actually that's just what's done at the moment (see modules/InternetExplorer/InternetExplorer.js l. 315/l. 157).
Note that until recently insertNodeAtSelection() wasn't supported in IE at all, and I just implemented this free-handedly, assuming this should work.
If you gain any  insights, please tell
