hi all,
I dont really know jquery that well but im looking for a function that maybe you would know.
What i would like to do is insert text into a text area where the cursor last was. I do have this little piece that i found on the web. but when i use a WYSIWYG editor it breaks the function. Now i am using ckeditor but i have also tested nicedtior and i get the same problem
here is the code that i am using
function insertAtCaret(areaId,text) {
var txtarea = document.getElementById(areaId);
var scrollPos = txtarea.scrollTop;
var strPos = 0;
var br = ((txtarea.selectionStart || txtarea.selectionStart == '0') ?
"ff" : (document.selection ? "ie" : false ) );
if (br == "ie") {
txtarea.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.moveStart ('character', -txtarea.value.length);
strPos = range.text.length;
}
else if (br == "ff") strPos = txtarea.selectionStart;
var front = (txtarea.value).substring(0,strPos);
var back = (txtarea.value).substring(strPos,txtarea.value.length);
txtarea.value=front+text+back;
strPos = strPos + text.length;
if (br == "ie") {
txtarea.focus();
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.moveStart ('character', -txtarea.value.length);
range.moveStart ('character', strPos);
range.moveEnd ('character', 0);
range.select();
}
else if (br == "ff") {
txtarea.selectionStart = strPos;
txtarea.selectionEnd = strPos;
txtarea.focus();
}
}
thanks in advance
