element where cursor is located

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

Does anyone know how to find the element where the cursor is located
when switched to contentEditable? For instance:

<html>
<div contentEditable>this is div one
<div>this is div two</div>
<div>this is div three</div>
</div>

<script language=vbs>
sub document_onkeydown()
elementwherecursorislocated.style.backgroundColor="red"
end sub
</script>

Thanks, Linton
