Examples
var range = document.createRange();
newNode = document.createElement("p");
newNode.appendChild(document.createTextNode("New Node Inserted Here"));
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));

Notes
If the container is a node of type Text, insertNode splits the text node, and inserts newNode between the resulting two text nodes. If newNode is a document fragment, the children of the document fragment node are inserted rather than the newNode itself.
