How to wrap selected text with a div in ipad?

Question

Its a followup question of this. I'm trying to wrap the selected text in a div using window.getSelection() but its not working in iPad because window.getSelection().rangeCount is 0.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/codef0rmer/jE4w5/

Is there any workaround for this to work in iPad?

You can use rangy for text selection and highlighting. jQuery Mobile along with backbone.js breaks the page so I used jQuery FastClick plugin
