!Mozilla and caret in textarea

[Zbigniew Braniecki]

Hello.
I'm looking for any way to grab caret position in textarea (start, end -
if selection) in Internet Explorer. Is it at all possible?

Also any idea for doing it in Opera, KHTML would be appreciated :)

Greetings
Gandalf

You subject asks about Mozilla, there (from 1.3 on) you can use

var textarea = document.forms[0].elements[0];
alert(textarea.selectionStart + '; ' + textarea.selectionEnd);

My subject asks about NOT Mozilla :) Gecko is the only engine where i
know how to do it :)

But in IE? Cannot find a way :(

Looked like a typo to me, didn't expect any JavaScript operators applied
in a normal language sentence :)

In the future, it might be better to use English, rather than logical
operators, to define your meaning.

The TextRange object might be useful, but as I've never used it, I
couldn't say. It seems to be the only relevant item.

This allows me to put text into textarea at caret position.
I don't want to do this. I want to grab position of caret. Similar as
textarea.selectionStart property in Gecko.
