[thelist] a VBScript question about selecting text.

[Craig Dyer]

Hi all.  Is there a way with VBScript or JavaScript to get the position of
the cursor in a text field?  I would like the user to be able to select a
string of text in a <textarea> field and wrap HTML tags arround it.  eg..
User clicks in text box then selects a word, I would then like the user to
press a form button and wrap, say, <b>wordhere</b> around it.

Any input is appreciated

Thanks,
Craig.
