replacing selected text with HTML in IE6

Hi everyone. I have an iframe with editable content. I need to find a
way to insert html/images/etc at the cursor.

With Mozilla, the insertHTML method works great. However, it's not
available in IE6.

I need something like this:
sel = editbox.selection.createRange();
sel.innerHTML='<div><img src=foo></div';

Except that line #2 doesn't work because sel is a text range, not an
element.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

If you can grab the text range, then wouldn't pasteHTML do the job?
