  hmm, anyone here?
  

  
  I have written a function to add a word to existing text in a text area, which I call using a button. The problem is that the word is always added at the end of the text. Is it possible to locate the cursor position in a text area? I would like the user to be able to add new words inbetween two exisiting words.
  

  
  Doesn anyone know how to track the cursor position in a text area?

  We've talked about this before a couple of months ago.
  

  
  Hope this helps!
