hi All.
I have taken from internet javascript code that add bb tags to the selected words. but in the documentation of this script it is said that without selecting text it must also add bb tags and when add bb tag at the end of text it automatically closes bb tags.
here is script. but it only wraps code when selecting text.

<script type="text/javascript">
//bbcode insertion..

//define tags, to let the script know when a tag is open and needs to be closed
var b = 2;
var i = 2;
var u = 2;
var s = 2;
var q = 2;
var center = 2;
var url = 2;
var img = 2;
var youtube = 2;

//function to insert tags
function tag(v, tagadd, newbut, tagclose, oldbut, name) {
    //our text box
    var txt = window.document.posting.post;

    //ie handles selections differently
    if (document.selection) {

        //if text is selected, wrap the tags
        theSelection = document.selection.createRange().text;
        if (theSelection) {

        document.selection.createRange().text = tagadd + theSelection + tagclose;
