Hi.

I have a text area and would like to add some text to it when I click a button so I put this code:
var txtarea = document.form.text;
txtarea.focus();
txtarea.value+="some text";

the problem is that this adds "some text" on the end of the text in my textarea
I want the "some text" after my current cursor position

could you help me do that :-)

thanks, Gordan

here's what i want :D
users enters "1234567" in the textarea. then clicks between 4 and 5 and hits "the button". now the textarea has the value "1234sometext567"

thanks, Gordan
