insert text at cursor (opera problem)

[Quidam]

Hello.

I've been using this function to insert text at the selection in a text field.

function insertAtCursor(myField, myValue) {
	//IE support
	if (document.selection) {
		myField.focus();
		sel = document.selection.createRange();
		sel.text = myValue;
	}
	//MOZILLA/NETSCAPE support
	else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == '0') {
		var startPos = myField.selectionStart;
		var endPos = myField.selectionEnd;
		myField.value = myField.value.substring(0, startPos)
		+ myValue
		+ myField.value.substring(endPos, myField.value.length);
		myField.focus();
		myField.selectionStart = myField.selectionEnd = myField.value.substring(0, startPos).length + myValue.length;
	} else {
		myField.value += myValue;
	}

}

It works fine in IE and firefox, but not in opera.
In opera it creates a double.

Lets say I have this text: Cake is tasty.
I then select the text and use the function to insert this: Cake is tasty.
Firefox and IE will replace the selection, as I want to to, but opera just inserts it after the text, so it ends up like this: Cake is tasty.Cake is tasty.


Anyone knows why opera is acting up/behaving differently?
Any help is appreciated.
