When using contenteditable (on HTML5) you can listen to click/touch and key events to detect when the cursor position changes. It seems on iPad / Safari nothing fires when using a touch event to reposition the cursor.
Is there a method to detect the cursor position change?

Reset to default 8On WebKit and derivatives (including Safari, Chrome and Mobile Safari), and IE, you can use the selectionchange event of the document:
document.onselectionchange = function() {
console.log("Selection changed!");
};
