onclick send text help

[phpmo]

<img name="7" img src="../images/italic.gif" border="0" alt="Italic"onClick="sendText(document.form2.rep, '[i] [/i]')">

 

I'm using the above code to insert various text fields as bbcode so that I can transfer it to html once viewed.

 

This works but inserts the text at the end of the text. So if text already exists and I try to type above the old text, when you click them it still inserts it below the old text and not where my cursor is.

 

Any thoughts on a way to make the text go to the cursor rather than the end of the textbox?

From http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/425/how-to-insert-text-into-a-textarea-where-the-cursor-is/

 

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();
    }
    txtarea.scrollTop = scrollPos;
}

Usage:

<textarea id="textareaid"></textarea>
<a href="#" onclick="insertAtCaret('textareaid','text to insert');return false;">

That worked great.

 

What if I want to load this in another window and then send it to a different page.

 

For example how on the smilies here you can click [more] and it will open them up in a different page but it still goes to this text box.

 

Also, any suggestions on how that select box works?
