Insert At Cursor

[nathj]

Good morning,

Well after the long Christmas break I'm finally back on-line, although my first post is to ask for help.

I am working on a simple admin panel for a site I have - it will enable other people to keep the main areas of the site up to date if I am not available. Part of this admin process needs an insert at cursor function so people can insert images at the right place.

The code I have (see below) works fine for FF but for IE nothing happens.

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

I say nothing happens because that is exactly what happens - nothing. I am calling the function with the ID of a textarea and the string '[img]' which is translated later.

So in FF the insert happens where the cursor is but in IE nothing happens at all.

Any ideas on what is going wrong here?

Many thanks

That link turns up a 404, any ideas where the content is now?
