java script + form box positioning

[ixcese]

hello , im building right now an replay box which is suppose to serve the user to write a post.

 

now , i have one question ,

 

i want to make buttons for smiley's so the poster can add smiley's where ever he want in hes post , so i created an function what suppose to add smiley and here is the code:

 

function addSmiley(){
    document.getElementById('ID').value = document.getElementById('ID').value+"";
}

 

the problem is , if the poster want to add the smiley in the middle of the post it can't be.

 

so my question is how i can get the position of the pointer so i can add the smiley in it's place.

 

regards , Mor.
